Under

functions. The new Music Arts Center will provide modern practice rooms, ensemble
rooms and classrooms. The building will consolidate theater arts, dance arts,
fine arts and music arts on the campus. The Center’s “Pavilion”
will house a 715 seat concert hall with state of the art acoustics for performances and rehearsals. The building will be built of recycled and sustainable materials and will be LEED certified by the U.S.

THE CLIENT:
Founded in 1891, The Hotchkiss School is
an independent boarding school for students in grades 9 through 12. Students
at Hotchkiss come from across the United States and 19 foreign countries. The
Hotchkiss School strives to develop in students a lifelong love of learning, responsible citizenship, and personal integrity.
OUR RELATIONSHIP:
The Stone House Group (SHG) is providing building commissioning and LEED oversight services for the construction
of a new Music Arts Center at The Hotchkiss School. SHG provided mechanical,
electrical and plumbing (MEP) design reviews that led to significant changes in the heating and air conditioning systems
for the building. Life cycle cost analysis was evaluated for various systems
and the building will be connected to a newly created central chiller plant for the campus.
Design reviews focused on energy efficiency of mechanical systems, operational strategies and the ability of campus
staff to adequately maintain the equipment. The MEP systems will be physically
inspected and performance tested to make sure they conform to the contract documents.
Commissioning is a prerequisite of LEED certification and is endorsed by ASHRAE to ensure that we have safe, healthy
and energy efficient buildings.
