Case study: Nitschmann Middle School, Bethlehem Area School District

The replacement of a 95-year-old residential school was sure to present challenges; D’Huy Engineering played an integral role in managing the development of plans, providing value engineering recommendations, and tenacious on-site monitoring to ensure the District received the highest quality project at the best value. In 2019, The New Nitschmann Middle School was awarded LEED Gold status by the USGBC. The building has a sophisticated, fully controllable, highly efficient HVAC system that allows the Facilities group to monitor and adjust building setpoints as needed to create a comfortable environment while also limiting the building’s energy usage. The building is located in an urban neighborhood where over one third of the students walk or bike to school. Bike racks, showers, and changing rooms are provided to encourage carbon footprint reduction. Limitingwater usagewas also a goal of the project, whichwas accomplished by installing low flow toilets, automatic faucets at sinks, and native landscaping which do not require regular watering.

The building was constructed with the environment in mind as well. Building materials were locally sourced and had high percentages of recycled content. The project team excelled by diverting over 75% of construction waste from landfills.

Being a community school, it is imperative that the building be utilized to its full potential by the local residents. The School District has an active leasing program of the athletic fields, gymnasium, auditorium and library. This building will be an icon in a historic City for years to come.
