Wilson Elementary School
- West Allegheny School District Imperial, PA
T&W provided a Feasibility Study and Construction Management services for the Wilson Elementary project. Renovations included a 5,700 SF addition for a new District Administration Office that freed up space at its formal location, Donaldson Elementary School. The cafeteria was relocated to allow the preparation of student meals onsite while restoring the full use of the gymnasium.
Enhancements to the school’s daylighting, such as new interior transom windows, skylights and LED lighting, were implemented to increase productivity, and reduce energy usage and costs. Open‐concept classrooms were converted into closed classrooms to increase acoustical privacy and safety while a “Collaboratory” built in the center of these spaces encourages more group activities. The library was redesigned to provide a more collaborative and creative environment, equipped with new furniture and story‐telling areas. Upgrades to technology included 55‐inch monitors in every classroom.
