[Music] Good morning everybody. My name is Sean Shidy. I'm the maintenance administrator for the Hoyoko Public Schools and we're back here again at uh Pek Middle School uh for the second tour. And as you can see behind me, we're a lot further along than we were before. I know in this
section looks similar to the last video if everybody saw it. Um but we have over here is uh some more waterproofing going on like this gentleman is working on. Yes, there are some windows missing, but that's how the contractors are getting their materials inside um and and supplies and everything else. And that's
actually where we're going to see a big change is once we go inside, we're going to see flooring. We're going to see a lot of paint on the walls, countertops, um cabinetry, a lot of walls are going to be closed in, ceiling work, uh electrical. Here we are, uh inside. We're actually on the east side of the building. Uh this will be an entryway
coming in. So, as we come in on my right hand side, this is the entire administrative wing. So, we have up all of our sheetrock. Uh we have one coat of uh mud and tape on the walls uh which will be sanded down and then eventually primed and painted. We do have a lot of
electrical going on. A lot of the various trades uh before everything gets enclosed like electrical, HVAC um and plumbing. If we take a look up uh we can see a lot of it. You see a lot of shut off valves, thermostats. You see a lot of the HVAC uh duck work in and line
sets. uh same as sprinkler heads and sprinkler piping. Uh electrical wiring and uh and then you see a lot of the corrugated uh underside of the corrugated flooring, the um spray applied uh fireproofing material on all
of the steel. And then it's tough, it's difficult to see, but up in the top corners um you see all the wiring for all of the building management system controls. So don't mind the noise, it's a little busy right here, but this is our foyer uh for the school itself. Uh we have our elevator right here. They'd
be coming in through the front entrance uh like this machine is bringing in. So they're bringing in uh flooring material, floor tile, uh various uh flooring materials. Um so we're going to have a double entryway right where that plastic is. That'll be one set of doors and then there'll be another set of
doors here. So as folks come in and as students come in, uh they'll come right through here. Now we're starting to see a a dramatic difference in the building. We are in B building first floor and as you can see around uh we have uh tile on
the walls. Uh door frames are painted. Um once we go inside some of these classrooms, we're going to see countertops and uh cabinetry and finished wall painting. Here we are in uh one of the specialty classrooms. Uh you can see these uh gentlemen here are
plumbers. They're installing the sink within the uh countertop and cabinets. So finished cabinetry, finished wall paint. Uh you can see some of the ceiling tile being put in. We have more cabinetry along the exterior walls, finished window system with sills, and
then it might be tough to see on camera, but there's a space back there. And back there is a heating system uh for the room itself. So you have a it's called a fin tube a fin tube uh radiant heating system. So hot water gets ran through there and uh permeates up throughout the
um throughout the classroom. So we can see on the flooring uh we have a nice uh VCT tile and with the VCT tile comes a low VOCC glue. So the products in the VCT the glue the
painting the compounds are all low VOCC. So they don't uh they don't give out uh volatile or uh organic compounds. So everything is green in the sense and that it's safe and doesn't off gas. So you have better breathing. no asthma and and asthma is a um a big consideration.
So using clean green products is on the forefront of a new modern school like this. Here we are in another classroom. This will be a typical classroom, a little quieter for us. This gentleman here, uh he's installing some floor covering. is installing his uh VCT tile. And so he'll go through his cuts and
everything. Uh making a nice tight fit um using uh techniques uh carpentry techniques to get the flooring down and get it really tight uh to the walls. So as you can see along the perimeter, you see the glue um as I was saying, a low VOCC glue. If you were in here with us,
you there's no smells in here. There's no toxic smells or anything like that. Uh it just smells like a typical job site wood, but no no no compounds that are going to give you headaches or offging or anything like that. So he'll make his way around doing a pattern. It's a quarter turn pattern. So every
tile gets turned. Um we have our um we have our cabinetry here and eventually a countertop will go in, sink will go in and you can see a lot of the finished wall color. So this is almost a finished room. Little bit more work to be done. We have our whiteboard and our uh corkboard on the wall for teachers to
put their educational materials and things like that. And in the middle will be a uh interactive display like a large uh large flat screen TV that the teacher can interact with with the students. This is a science room. So as we come in to the science classroom, this is going
to be the prep room. So you're going to have prep in here. A lot of cabinetry, a lot of countertops. Um and so like I said would be your prep room. You're going to have your window to look out into the classroom, whether the teacher's in here or a pair looking out into the classroom prepping for um
whatever science has going on. Now, we're into the classroom. You can see this is a really goodiz classroom for science. It's going to be really great for the students. Lot of cabinetry, lot of countertops, sinks. Um and as we keep going around, it's a really good good size room for
science and STEM. So again, a lot of cabinetry, a lot of storage, heating on the edges, uh specialty kind of little desk area, and your finished windows, and your ceiling tile above. As we work our way down a common hallway in the B building, we have our wall tile here to
protect the walls against normal wear and tear, backpacks, things like that. Then in this space here, they're not in yet, but this space here will be filled by lockers. So we have lockers flanking on either side. So, wherever there isn't a locker system installed, you'll have a wall tile system to protect the walls.
Now, we're here up on the roof of BB building. If you can look to my right here, we have a large HVAC unit. Uh, this will control the heating, the ventilation, uh, the fresh air and cooling uh, within the building itself. And this will supply uh, all of the
HVACs, like I said, to B building. As I we make our way down, we have our ventilation for various bathrooms uh and then and any other specialty room that requires ventilation. Uh we keep panning our way around. As you can see here, you
see our guard system in place. Uh this is just to protect anybody on the roof working uh within a certain number of feet of the HVAC unit that we have to have the guard in place. That'll stay there. Uh we go over the smaller flat roof there and then to our far corner
there with the off-white um system. Those are cooling towers and that's for a VRF system, a variable refrigerant flow system. A lot of people call them a mini split system. Uh but the technical term, like I said, is a VRF system. Then we continue to make our way to the
darker green uh HVAC units. Those are some more uh rooftop units. We call them RTUs. Again, they control uh heating, ventilation, uh um air conditioning, and fresh air. Then we continue on to our last large piece of equipment, which is
similar to the one we saw when we first got up here, and that'll control the HVAC in uh building A. Then we kind of pan a little bit to our right, and we see what's called a ship's ladder. So, that ship's ladder will take us on top of the gym area, and there's more units
up there, but they kind of have it roped off for us, so we're not going to make our way up there today. But, as you can see on this lower roof, you see the protection and you see the HVAC equipment. That's what you're going to see up there. Now, we're here on building B, second floor. So, I wanted
to show you uh the door system that's being installed here. So, this is our uh entry door system. Um it's a vinyl system um with metal. So depending on what it is uh and where it is in the building, but as you can see, you have this entry here and then you have a
second entry way there. Um which kind of breaks up the cold air when you're opening doors. You have some heating up in the ceiling. Um and then here in the space there that'll have a mat that can be taken up every summer and and cleaned out and it'll capture the dirt and the dust from being brought inside the
building itself. Now, this section kind of here uh is looking a little crazy. Here's a staff lounge. Uh, this will be just strictly for staff. And then back here is our loading and receiving. Here's our heating plants here. These are lockinvar high efficiency uh
hydronulic boilers. Uh, best in the market you can get. They're so efficient and will uh produce the hot water to heat the building. This is our actual heating system. They're locking bar high efficiencies uh that will heat the hydronulic the heat the hot water for the hydronic system. And as we make our
way in, this is where they'll live. So, we have some electrical panels and then the various hot water heaters and the two um heating plants will live right here on these platforms uh that will be piped and ran throughout the building to
uh heat the building like we were talking about on the outer walls where you have that fin tube. These will heat that uh hot water up to a certain temperature and extract as much energy out of it as we can. Um, and then all you're left with is a condensate water.
So, they're high efficiency condensating hot water boiler. Now, we're on the outside of our receiving area. Uh, take a quick shot down. These are our grease traps, the grease interceptors from the kitchen area. Uh, by code, we have to have these uh to intercept any grease or
anything. Um, so it doesn't go into the uh into the sewer system. It gets trapped here uh within there. And then every year, uh, I have a company come in and clean them out. We can see our fiberglass doors uh like we were talking about. So, they're really high uh high efficiency and energy efficient. So,
we're maximizing our heating and cooling in the building while keeping out the cold and the hot depending on the season. Sidewalks along that'll be into the kitchen area. These gentlemen here are taking off more heating plant um pieces of equipment. Then behind me
here, this is going to be our for our generator pad. That's the generator will go there and our dumpsters, our various dumpsters, cardboard dumpster, regular refuge dumpster, and then to our right is our um our field for our propane tanks. Uh it's tough to see, but we have
five propane tanks buried under the ground there. Now that we've made our way from the loading dock in the mechanical area, now we're into the music room. Um you folks at home might not be able to hear it, but we can. The sound is completely different in here. We have all of our concrete block walls
fully uh grouted with um with uh masonry mixed grout. Uh so the the sound will stay in here. If we pan up to the ceiling, the ceiling is a lot different than what we're used to seeing in the hallways. This is an acoustical panel type ceiling. So sound will uh be
deadened by uh its properties. So the sound won't be bouncing around and be echoey or anything like that. Um, and then eventually on the walls will be fabric and various sound attenuating um, uh, pieces of equipment that will help break up the sound and create that p
that perfect music space um, to not have, like I said, where you're going to have different sounds of echoes and different things like that. And then the sound will stay within the space itself and not travel out into the building. Uh, so they can be in here playing their music as loud as they want and will not
bother anybody. All right. Now, we've made our way from the music room out into the stage area. Uh this this right here will have hardwood on the floor and it will be, like I said, will be the stage area for performances and various other uh programs that will take place.
And then as we pan out, uh you can see a lots going on, a lot of uh workers, a lot of equipment and materials taking place. And as we look out here in the middle section here, this is the cafeteria. Um, and when we pan up again, we see that acoustical uh tile, that
ceiling again, and then eventually a ceiling system will be installed to keep that noise level way, way down. So, it is very busy. But then out that way, all the way further out is our gym area, and you see a lot of painting going on. Our windows are in um the upper ceiling area, which it might be tough to pick up
on camera, but is all being painted. Uh, so there's going to be different colors uh within the gym area. The middle section will be separated by a divider. It's a mechanical divider that has fabric on it and you can separate out from gym class to the cafeteria or if there's a big performance or a game or
something like that, that can be opened up and everybody can enjoy the gym and cafeteria area. To our right is the kitchen area. Uh it's a little busy. We're not going to go in there. They kind of have it blocked off, but in there is our fridges, our freezers, industrial that are built in to the
walls. Um and then the various kitchen uh uh islands and uh stoves and serving lines and dishwashers and different things like that. And then on the far end um where the you see the those doorways are, that's going to be the gym
teachers areas for storage and their office areas. And then eventually, they're not in yet, but eventually you'll have our basketball hoops will be installed. The bleacher system on the left will be installed. There's a rock climbing wall that goes on that far outer wall and
then there'll be gym padding along to protect the kids when they're playing uh basketball or various sports within the gym itself. All right, now we're in a building second floor. Uh as we come through this gentleman here, he's working on the ceiling tile and the grid itself. Um so we look here, this is
going to be a bathroom. You can see the green coating in there. That's the moisture protection coating. uh so moisture doesn't come up through and it'll protect the tile or protect the area uh like I said from water or water mitigation. And as we keep coming through uh more of the gentlemen putting
in the uh acoustical ceiling tile uh the the main grid, the wall angle, some areas are still being painted. Uh we have some heating units along the wall there. Um you see a little mini heating unit along the wall on the right hand side here. So this is
a smaller office area. Um and you can see heating will come through here. That cover will go on that and keep coming. Some more painting. So this gentleman is painting painting some door frames. So as he goes through he's uh
painting door frames, cutting and trimming as they like to call it. So now we're here in the media center, one portion of it at least. So, we come into this specialty room here, uh, that can be used for various programs and different things. Um, but as we look around, uh, you can see a lot of storage
and things, but if you look up, which is a neat, uh, feature here, is this glass door. Um, so it's a garage door. Yes. But this can be shut if there's stuff going on out in the media center and or if you have something going on in here, some type of program or learning opportunity, the door can be shut and
you can have a modular kind of uh, learning environment. or you can open up the door, same as on the other side, and have one large space for uh learning or library activity or something to that effect. All right, now we're in the heart of the media center. Uh pretty a lot of different colors from uh the
designers. And then as we look up at the ceiling, you see a lot of angles and a lot of different architectural details uh that give that room uh its own character. uh the pop of color and uh being used for the various programs like I said um within the media center
itself. I wanted to talk a little bit about young students and uh the future uh that that they can hold uh by getting into the trades or by getting into architecture or engineering. Um so there there's really good careers out there.
This entire building and all of the workers in it from the design team to the general contractors to the various trades and stuff all need to be replaced. There's a lot of older people uh that are retiring and we need young students to have that passion and to take their place. So, as students come
up and as you as students learn about uh um blueprints, uh construction drawings, mechanical engineering, uh plumbing engineering, electrical engineering, uh or just down to the various trades like we saw floor covers, we saw electricians, we saw plumbers, we saw
carpenters installing um doorways or installing ceilings. There's a lot of trades out there that we need folks to uh and students to take that passion and want to get into the trades. you can make a you can have a very good living um in the construction industry and
there's not just the money to be made but there's the satisfaction there when you design a building when you work in a building. A lot of these uh folks that are in this building working right now have a lot of passion for what they do and they take pride in what they do and they go home at the end of the day
tired, but they've made a real difference in the world. And it all comes to fruition on a building like this to build something for the new students of Holio, the city of Holio, and the staff, parents, and everyone
else that'll get to enjoy this building. [Music]
