HVAC Project

Work is continuing at Bellevue East with Lueder Construction and the Ray Martin Company working through the various phases of construction for the revamping of the heating and cooling systems at Bellevue East High School. The existing steam and chiller systems within the building are being replaced with a new Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heating and cooling system, which should prove to be a highly efficient mechanical that should provide significant energy savings to the District in the coming years. A significant amount of the classroom areas in the building have had the new units installed with work now moving into some of the larger open areas of the building (e.g. gyms, band rooms, common areas, etc…). A significant amount of work was completed in the Summer of 2018 with another significant amount of work scheduled over the Summer months of 2019.   It is anticipated that work should be completed on this $8.2 million project in early fall of 2019.

This roofing project is being started in July of 2018 and will be completed in early Spring of 2019. Scheduling of work has revolved around ongoing school scheduling of students within the building and is being coordinated with the cooperation with the school administration.

Another separate roof project will be completed in replacement of the roof system over the main competition gym area. The work on this replacement will start in June of 2019 should be completed around September 1st (weather dependent).
