Grunley Construction is renovating the Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Arlington, Virginia. The school serves 567 children grades six through eight and is also used as a community center by Arlington County. The objective of the project is to improve the appearance and functionality of the school and improve daylight to enhance student learning and faculty efforts. The construction is phased in order to maintain operations of the school/community center.
As part of the scope, Grunley is renovating a majority of the 230,000 square foot existing space. Major mechanical systems are being replaced. Approximately 20 new modular air handling units are being installed. Portions of the existing electrical systems are being modernized, including lighting replacements, and all life safety systems are scheduled to be upgraded. Interior improvements include new finishes and paint throughout a majority of the school and the renovation of the cafeterias and media center (including new finishes and millwork). Exterior improvements include new window and skylight installations, repair/modification of existing windows, masonry repair and pointing, roof system replacement, and exterior painting.
