DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. HIGH SCHOOL
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. High School project, built for the Louisiana Department of Education Recovery School District, included the new construction of a three-story 139,000-square-foot high school located in New Orleans, LA. The high school, which supports kindergarten through 12th grade, was constructed using a concrete and structural steel frame on a precast concrete and timber piles foundation. An exterior consisting of a concrete masonry unit block with brick veneer and composite wall panels, and a built-up flat roof system completed the construction. This project includes classrooms, laboratories, a gymnasium, and a theater. The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. High School project achieved LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for the implementation of state-of-the art electrical and emergency systems, in addition to sustainable green energy systems. The school now provides a fully modernized facility for academic student instruction in the community of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
