KIPP Hatch Middle School

INTECH Construction, LLC

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

To accommodate a growing student body, KIPP Hatch Middle School’s 1920s building and its three-story 1980s addition were completely renovated. The school, part of the KIPP Cooper Norcross family of public charter schools, serves students from educationally underserved communities. The 130,000-square-foot project introduced new basketball courts, a new kitchen, and a new auditorium featuring stateof-the-art A/V systems. The 1980s addition received a new CFMF roof truss system with new sheathing and roofing. The entire building received new finishes, including flooring, ceilings, lighting, and doors, as well as a new mechanical system for fresh air and energy recovery.
