Carbon Career & Technical Institute
Location: Jim Thorpe, PA
Description: Building Renovation & Expansion
After 42 years of operation, Carbon Career and Technical Institute found itself in need of significant facility improvement. This revitalization project expanded many program areas and provided additional work space, new equipment, dedicated theory rooms, and increased storage. The reorganization of existing spaces resulted in improved clustering of related programs and enhanced building security. The project also replaced Building Systems Infrastructure, which was original to the building.
The new addition exterior was carefully detailed to complement the existing building. Similar construction materials were employed to blend the new addition facades with the existing facades, while at the same time providing an updated look for the facility.
The bids came in under budget and the five sending School Districts approved construction of the project.
