Gervais High School

Award Winner : Modern Building Systems, Inc.

Architectural Excellence : Gervais School District had no locker room or restrooms for their new pre-engineered steel gym building for nearly a year when they reached out to Modern for help with this much needed expansion. In addition to the girls and boys locker rooms, Modern added a single user restroom and PE office with storage all accessible from within the existing gym. The 1,904 square foot addition complements the structure by using matching metal exterior finishes. The addition was designed and tied into the existing building to creating a barrier free transition between spaces.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : Gervais School District is a small rural district with limited resources, Modern was creative in finding much needed space solutions for them. To keep costs down on upgrading onsite electrical capacity we installed 3 phase gas wall hung units and gas water heaters lowering operating costs in the future. This allowed minimal panel upgrades instead of adding high dollar electrical infrastructure. LED lighting was also installed to maximize operating cost efficiencies.

Technical Innovation : This district relied on Modern to provide the locker room as full turn-key project which required extensive infrastructure upgrades. Looping fire water lines around the whole campus and adding fire hydrants were included for future school growth. The existing gym was on a stand-alone fire alarm system which we integrated into the entire school property as well as extending the fire sprinklers for the addition. Negotiation with local enforcement jurisdictions during the planning and civil engineering phases helped with permitting and ultimately with receiving final occupancy promptly.
