Pecatonica High School

PROFILE: Pecatonica High School truly has strong community presence, with community members sharing the gymnasium, weight room, library with computer access, and 1,105-seat football bleachers. The conceptual layout is based on a "town square" theme, and an exterior courtyard provides natural daylight to the interior of the building.

TPM: Hoffman's practice of Total Project Management enabled this project to do well during the competitive bidding process, helping the project finish well under the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Upon completion, 100 percent of the savings were returned to the district. Pecatonica High School, situated on a 30-acre parcel, incorporates daylighting as a key element. This sustainable feature promotes a healthy atmosphere while reducing energy costs.
