Education
Timmons Group’s focus on education enables our civil
engineering design teams to master plan and design school sites that
effectively integrate your educational program and operational considerations
into your selected site. Timmons Group is committed to environmentally
sensitive and responsible site design, while never losing focus on
your project budget and time constraints.
Timmons Group understands the need to work together to be successful
and will work within the content of the design team throughout the
entire process. Our civil engineers have decades of experience in
understanding the specific challenges of school projects, such as
balancing the building program with available funding, phasing the
work around the school year, engaging and educating the community
and understanding trends in education.
The majority of the work that is completed by Timmons Group’s
education practice is bid through a public procurement process. Our
experience with this process has resulted in the preparation of plans
and specifications that are clear and concise and that effectively
manage the risks associated with unforeseen conditions. Our presence
on site during the construction process also helps to ensure that
the intent of the design is realized in the field.

Project Profiles:

Third Creek Elementary School
Iredell
County, NC
A new elementary school on a 102 acre
site, this project was the first elementary school on the East
Coast to register with the United States Green Building Council
(USGBC) to go through the LEED® 2.0 Green Building Rating System. A
landscape plan that features fast growing, low-maintenance, drought resistant
native plantings that will reduce the “heat island” effects of the
parking lots and created a series of learning gardens around the school was also
designed.

Oak Knoll Middle School & Hanover High
School
Hanover County, VA
Timmons Group prepared a master plan that allowed
for each school to have its own identity while maximizing the use of shared infrastructure. Examples
are the shared bus loop and the centralized stormwater management facility that
serves both sites. Oak Knoll Middle School won an award from VEFP for Best
New Project, Secondary Education. Among the citations was “Clarity
of Site Design.” |
