The firm’s services included engineering design and construction administration support for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for the new three-story Apex Friendship Middle School; window replacements and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades at Enloe High School; swing space renovation and site work at Wiley Elementary School; wall settlement at Fuquay-Varina Elementary School; concrete settlement at Cary High School; elevator modernizations at Athens Drive High School; and mobile unit installations at Oak View Elementary School.

“Having spent nearly 25 years working with Wake County, my team and I are thrilled to have provided the school system with much needed renovation and expansion design services,” says Dewberry Client Manager Johnny Wood, PE, LEED AP BD+C, CxA, CPD. “As these wrap up, we continue to work on additional projects across the county for further expansions and renovations at different schools.”
