K-12 Schools

Farmington High School

Davis School District | Farmington, Utah

Farmington High School represents an intense design effort to establish a new, extremely high benchmark and standard for K-12 school design. As the electrical engineering consultant for the massive 405,000 SF, $78.5 million project, Envision worked to achieve the following primary goals: facilitate a high level of flexibility, technological infrastructure, security and safety systems, and energy efficiency.

Specific to electrical engineering design, the building is technologically advanced, with a robust wireless framework to support connections to the Internet and classroom TV usage. A lecture capture system is possible, capturing the live classroom instruction and/or streaming. Envision also designed state-of-the-art school security systems and lighting design throughout the school. Acoustical design was provided for the school’s large auditorium which is often utilized for performing arts.

Another significant value-added design feature: this building is net-zero ready. Design innovations to achieve this high level of energy efficiency included LED lighting throughout and placing photovoltaic panels—which power most of the school’s energy needs—on the large canopies over the District’s school bus parking facility adjacent to the high school site.
