Scope:

Dallas ISD’s H.S. Thompson Elementary brings classrooms, a media center, a storm shelter, and shared student spaces into a 60,000 square foot campus. Our team provided electrical, fire detection, fire protection, technology, security, and audiovisual engineering for Dallas ISD’s H.S. Thompson Elementary School. The $25 million, 60,000 square foot campus serves up to 450 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. The two story school includes 23 core classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, library, media center, and storm shelter, with spaces supporting its STEAM curriculum. Spaces considered in the design include classrooms, collaboration areas, administration, and student support spaces. The electrical approach accounts for classroom lighting, receptacle power, and electrical distribution.
