East Prairie School

  • Virtual Design & Construction
  • Modular & Prefabrication

Connelly Electric partnered with Gilbane Building Company and STR Architects to construct a new 125,000 SF, Three Story Pre-K through 8th grade school, with the original school remaining open during construction.  Connelly Electic worked with the Gilbane Building Co. to coordinate safety, schedule, phasing and site logistics to ensure no disruption to the existing campus and student transportation. The school features numerous collaborative areas outside of the classroom, “Learning Stairs” in the central commons area, and state of the art Audio Visual Systems throughout.

  • By utilizing BIM coordination, we were able to prefabricate all in wall and above ceiling junction boxes and conduit racks for multiple systems. 
  • Value Engineered light fixture package saving
