A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter talks about the design of a new state‐of‐the‐art middle school at Radnor, Pennsylvania. The design team was led by Blackney Hayes Architects of Philadelphia. The key consideration was to determine the appropriate number of bid packages for the project that would maximize participation and competition among bidders. This process led to more precise and lower bids from the contractors and provided Radnor Township School District the best possible price on their project. Environmentally sustainable design and construction have been a hallmark of recent projects at Radnor Township School District, and the Middle School is no exception. The building includes many “green” features such as geo‐thermal heating and cooling, recycled materials, heat, motion and light sensors and other features that will help the District achieve their goal of a gold level certification from the US Green Building Council.
