BHB provided land surveying; landscape architecture; and civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design for the construction of a new charter school for children in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. The design was for a new, two-story classroom building that includes a kitchen, media room, and tornado shelter with the capacity to hold 900 to 1,000 people. DX RTUs were specified for their flexibility to meet the varying HVAC needs of the different areas of the school.

This project had specific challenges in order to meet the state requirements for storm shelters in new schools. Requirements included making sure the penetrations for the building were not bigger than a specific area without having rated protection, as well as having a generator, dedicated ventilation systems, and utilities in the event of a tornado. BHB worked with a structural engineer to locate all DX RTUs over one portion of the roof, while maintaining access and clearances.

    Principal | Civil Engineer

    An explorer at heart, Joe once had dreams of following in the footsteps of Lewis & Clark. He loves to travel to any new place, exploring and discovering the many experiences that the world has to offer. His calling here at home, though, is the creative design process of civil engineering. He was drawn to this line of work for the opportunity to work with clients and take their vision for a project to design on paper, through construction, and into the built world. As a principal at BHB, he enjoys the ability to work on a wide variety of projects while also being involved in the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and the MATHCOUNTS program. Joe is also a graduate of the Professional Engineer Leadership Institute.
