Education

The project consists of two stories of classrooms, a common area, kitchen and gymnasium. Air handling units and mechanical room were located in a crawlspace. Climate control was accomplished with seven (7) air handling units, a four pipe heating / chilled water loop, three (3) high efficiency 3,000 MBH boilers, a 200 ton chiller, a 32,500 CFM cooling tower, Ice Storage Tanks, VAV terminals, split systems, cabinet and unit heaters. Midlands Mechanical, Inc. performed all of the mechanical and plumbing work.

Little Raven Elementary School is the third new elementary school we have constructed for Littleton Public Schools over a 3-1/2 year span. This school is a 76,000 Square foot elementary located in Littleton Colorado. The school has 2 boilers, 6 Rooftop Units and over 85 hydronic VAV reheat coils. There are also over 120 plumbing fixtures in the school which also includes a commercial kitchen and dedicated 140 degree hot water system and water heater. There is a domestic water booster pump which feeds a 4” diameter domestic cold water main and 3” domestic hot water main running throughout the school as well as a 1-1/2” hot water recirculation line. Construction began in April of 2022 and completed in July of 2023.

The project consists of two stories of classrooms, a common area, kitchen and gymnasium. Air handling units and mechanical room were located in a ‘drive-in’ crawlspace. Climate control was accomplished with twelve (12) air handling units, five (5) high efficiency 50 HP boilers, a 315 ton chiller, a 50,000 CFM cooling tower, VAV terminals, split systems, cabinet and unit heaters, a four pipe heating / chilled water loop. Midlands Mechanical, Inc. performed all of the mechanical and plumbing work.
