Kohler Ronan Consulting Engineers - Postcard: Collegiate School

The Collegiate School New York, New York

In 2013, the prestigious Collegiate School announced its decision to consolidate and move its campus to a new location. Finding ample space at Freedom Place South, the school took occupancy of a beautiful, newly constructed facility in January, 2018. The 180,000 square-foot building, incorporating 9 floors above and 2 floors below ground, includes a 310seat auditorium, two gymnasiums, a black box theater, maker spaces, chemistry labs, and all necessary program spaces for a competitive, 21st century K-12 school. Unique to this location are the dramatic views of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, visible to the school’s 650 students and 100+ faculty members via the building’s open, main staircase.

Kohler Ronan was honored to be part of the design team for the oldest independent school in America. Responsible for both MEP/FP engineering services and energy modeling, our engineers provided an integrated design approach incorporating many sustainable features, including thermal ice storage, demand control ventilation, dedicated outdoor air systems, and chilled beams. Collegiate anticipates approximately 25% energy savings compared to an ASHRAE baseline building and is awaiting LEED certification.
