PS 121R -Shelley Avenue Public School
The Shelley Avenue Public School was designed as part of a larger scheme to create a future school campus, a large portion of which will support children with special needs. The school is approximately 80,000 sq. ft. incorporated into three floors with a green roof (rooftop garden space). DVL provided MEP/FP design for this new school. Mechanical systems included two (2) gas fired hot water condensing boilers, air cooled modular chillers, and a BMS system to monitor and allow for remote adjustment of temperatures throughout. A new 4,000 Amps electrical service was requested and designed to provide power for all systems including low voltage systems, fire alarm, lighting, etc. An emergency generator was included as square footage exceeded 15,000 sq. ft. on some floors. Plumbing systems included two water services (a 4” dedicated domestic water service and a 6” combined -domestic water and fire protection service) with associated RPZ assemblies. The rooftop garden was a unique feature of this project which provided additional outdoor space and contributed to the sustainability of the design with rainwater collection feature.
