SMP Engineering modernized Bowness High School in Calgary, adding a 42,000 ft² CTS Centre with new electrical systems, cohesive lighting design, and upgraded infrastructure.
Originally built in 1955, the 2016 modernization included a 42,000 ft2 new addition to accommodate the Career Technology Studies (CTS) Centre. The addition included a new electrical sub-distribution at 277/480V and 120/208V and connection to the existing head end systems for Data, PA, telephone, security, CCTV, and fire alarm. A cohesive lighting design was important to bring both the new and existing buildings together seamlessly. The lighting systems were comprised of low-voltage relays, switches, and occupancy and daylight sensors for control; fluorescent luminaires for general lighting; LED lighting for special applications, exterior lighting, and high ceilings; and battery packs and remote heads for emergency lighting.
