TECHNOLOGY + RESEARCH
MARICOPA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Maricopa Institute of Technology project, built for the Riverside Elementary
School District, included the new construction of a 61,656-square foot middle
school. The facility supports classrooms designed to accommodate the Science
Technology Engineering Math high school preparatory curriculum and 600
students on a 14-acre site. The middle school was constructed on a concrete
foundation with structural steel and concrete walls. An exterior insulation and
finish system comprised the exterior skin consisting of an insulated water-
resistant, finished surface, metal panels, and masonry. The roof system consisted
of sheet metal and thermoplastic polyolefin material. The project also featured
an Energy Management System with computer-aided control and monitoring
tools for building performance optimization and maximum energy savings,
a central atrium serving as a cafeteria and student assembly area, an exterior
amphitheater, and breakout spaces for collaborative and individual study. Due to
CORE’s innovative energy design, the Maricopa Institute of Technology project
provided a unique learning environment for students.
