Project Details:

Owner: Salt Lake School District
Location: Salt Lake City, UT
Architect: NJRA Architects
Completed: July, 2005
Building Size: 77,864 square feet
Site Size: 10.19 acres
Procurement Type: Hard Bid

Description:

Indian Hills is an Elementary School for grades K – 6. The project is typical of a K – 6 school with 30 classrooms, library, gymnasium, four playgrounds and included the demolition of the existing school. The location of the school, at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains provided a challenging site with infinite grade changes, retaining walls, stairs, ramps and even extensive excavation of buried rock which required special heavy-duty excavation equipment. Although the rock was an unforeseen condition the school district could not grant additional time to the contract in order to get the school open for the following school year, thus Camco accelerated the construction schedule after excavation was complete and still completed the project in time for the new school year.
