Putney Central School Phase III

Location: Putney, VT
Architect: Greenberg Associates Architects
Contract Amount: $789,836

The project consisted of renovations to the Putney Central School for the purpose of improving energy performance of the indoor environment, and to reduce the cost of building operations and maintenance. The major portion of the project was the installation of a pellet boiler and back-up oil-fired boiler with new controls. The project consolidated three separate boiler rooms by the removal and re-piping of two boiler rooms and the renovation and expansion of one boiler room.

This was the third and final phase of extensive energy efficiency upgrades throughout the entire building. In the case of Putney Central School, energy efficiency upgrades also meant improvements to the exterior of the facility as well. All three phases were done under budget so the school was able to reinvest the savings that were realized in new acoustical ceilings, improved lighting, and landscape beautification.

Another key element of Phase III was the expansion and modernization of the school’s kitchen.  Putney Central School’s breakfast and lunch programs are incredibly important pieces in the educational puzzle that ultimately enriches the lives of the school’s diverse student population.
