PES provided the structural design for the addition and renovations to Emma Hutchinson Elementary School for Atlanta Public Schools. The project included the demolition, new construction and upgrades to the existing facility. The new addition is an 850 square foot entry that has been designed within the footprint of the existing canopy roof and is tied to the underside of the roof slab. The 2,000 square feet of renovations includes new concrete stairs on grade; a new concrete retaining wall at the new stair; new concrete pit walls and CMU walls at the elevator; analysis of the existing exterior concrete beam for potential removal; new interior CMU walls; and new lintels in the existing CMU walls at new openings.
