From replacing exterior panic hardware and hallway doors to refreshing the school’s look with new carpets and repainted parking lot light poles, no stone was left unturned.
  • Energy and Environment: Understanding the importance of a comfortable learning environment, specific air conditioning inverters were replaced. Additionally, energy-efficient lighting was installed in the library, ensuring a well-lit reading and study area.
  • Sanitation Enhancements: With the replacement of toilet partitions and domestic water heaters, the sanitation facilities of the school have been significantly improved, ensuring hygiene and comfort for students.
  • Safety Alert: A crucial aspect of any school’s infrastructure, the fire alarm system, was completely replaced, ensuring that in the case of an emergency, timely alerts can be sent out to protect everyone in the building.

The expertise of VLK Architects combined with the vision of the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District has transformed Hamilton Middle School.
