MUSD, Joseph Gascon Elementary School

HVAC Upgrades 37,000 SF East Los Angeles, CA TYPE: SIZE:

This is a new $7.5 million building for the Montebello Unified School District’s Joseph Gascon Elementary School. We provided complete Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing engineering services. The building is primarily classrooms in a two-story structure of approximately 37,000 square feet. A Head Start program is also included in the building. Twenty-eight new classrooms are being provided. The project was submitted to and approved by DSA. The HVAC system consists of small packaged rooftop heating/cooling rooftop units. The units have two compressors each which is unusual for this size (four tons) equipment. However, this does provide redundancy for each classroom and outstanding cooling efficiencies. The Head Start area consists of kitchens as well as training facilities. High efficiency lighting is provided throughout the building along with state-of-the-art lighting controls.
