YU & Associates, Inc. (YU) was retained to provide site feasibility and engineering services for the renovation of the existing Joseph F. Brandt School. The project calls for the renovation of the 99,200 square foot school and reprogramming the educational spaces to convert the school to a pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade elementary school. Since the building is located in the floodplain, unique design and regulatory challenges were posed.
In the feasibility portion of the project YU will provide a boundary and topographic survey, an environmental assessment, a geotechnical investigation and a traffic study. Design Development phase services will include site and geotechnical engineering, Stromwater management design, utility design and relocation, and environmental services. YU will also assist in obtaining the regulatory permits that are required for construction.
