Roberts Academy is dedicated to students with dyslexia.

This project involved the construction of a structural steel building with exterior metal stud walls, featuring a combination of brick and EIFS facade. The design included exterior storefront windows and doors, along with a playground area. The interior was outfitted with essential facilities, including a kitchen equipped with a 2,500-gallon grease trap, a lunchroom, a library, offices, classrooms, and more. The flooring consisted of LVT and carpet, and acoustical ceilings were installed throughout.

The project site presented unique challenges due to its limited space. Before construction of the building pad could begin, a retaining wall had to be erected. Additionally, two large underground detention systems were installed. The site was in close proximity to a city gas farm and residential housing, necessitating careful coordination of deliveries, as there was no designated laydown area.

Given the strict deadline to complete the project by July 1, 2024, in time for the new school year, there was no room for delays due to weather or equipment issues. During preconstruction, all long lead items were identified, and submittals for these items were swiftly coordinated and approved. To mitigate potential delays, the team worked extended hours and weekends to ensure timely delivery. The result was a successful project completed within the tight timeframe, delivering significant savings to the client.
