Winsor School
Boston – RDK Engineers is busy finishing commissioning for the centers for performing arts and wellness at the Winsor School, an independent day school for girls. The new six-story building consists of 144,000sf of space and includes a new performing arts center and an athletic facility.
RDK’s commissioning services, performed under the LEED-NC guidelines, included mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that served the diverse spaces throughout the new building including performing arts spaces for theater, dance, and music, and wellness spaces that include squash courts, a cardio/fitness room, a multipurpose room.
The 510-seat, two-level theater makes it possible for students to have complete autonomy with their productions: From hosting performances, to gaining personal experience in the new scene and costume shops, to taking advantage of a fly loft and full catwalk system, the theater provides significant possibilities for growth and learning.
RDK will also be commissioning the M/E/P systems serving the academic wing, which is currently under renovation. Upon completion of the academic wing construction, the new Lubin-O’Donnell Center will be connected to the existing academic buildings.
A central mechanical plant that will eventually power the existing buildings has been spaced for future build-out.
