Clyde High School is now the first LEED Silver high school in the State of Ohio. Bostleman was the construction manager for this 153,294 sf renovations/additions project at the high school which is part of the Clyde-Green Springs EVSD District-Wide Construction Program.
Sustainable features of the project included construction waste management, light pollution reduction, the use of products with recycled materials, daylight sensors, chilled beam systems, heat island effect: roof, and outdoor air delivery monitoring among several others. Numerous cosmetic upgrades were made along with a much needed parking lot expansion. In addition, the high school now boasts major technology upgrades such as, sound-proofed classrooms, a state-of-the-art security system, and district-wide network system. A new auxiliary gym, expanded kitchen, cafeteria with new equipment, and guidance offices are some of the newest additions to Clyde High School.
Also part of the Clyde-Green Springs EVSD District-Wide Construction Program, Clyde Elementary School, Green Springs Elementary, and McPherson Middle School are pursuing LEED Gold Certification.
LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
