Machine Shop Renovation, Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative

Location: West Springfield, MA

Renovation of shops and classrooms at the Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative, a vocational technical high school serving multiple school districts in Hampden County. The project focused around the development of new shop and classroom facilities for a CNC machine training program. Design services included Study through Construction Administration phases and logistical planning and scheduling for this complicated construction in an occupied building. Dietz & Company Architects led the project team to fully understand the CNC equipment requirements and plan for the operational clearances and complex mechanical and electrical utility connections needed to provide the school with fully functional program spaces.
