California Education Projects Face Unique MEP Challenges

School, college, and university projects in California must balance student comfort, safety, and energy codes while staying on tight academic calendars and funding deadlines. Architects, districts, and facility managers often face delays due to:

  • MEP permit comments from local AHJs and DSA (Division of the State Architect) reviewers.
  • HVAC systems that fail to meet indoor air quality and ventilation standards for classrooms and labs.
  • Electrical systems are overloaded by smart classrooms, AV, and IT infrastructure.
  • Plumbing and domestic water issues impacting health, safety, and fixture efficiency.
  • Poor coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP layouts in existing campuses.

Without early, coordinated MEP planning, education projects risk redesigns, change orders, and missed occupancy dates.

Our California-focused education MEP design approach helps you secure permits and open on time while meeting strict energy and sustainability goals.
