Buffalo Engineering provided engineering services for the Buffalo Public Schools Reconstruction Program, a decade-long, district-wide, five-phase reconstruction effort that involved more than 45 preK-12 schools and nearly $1.4 billion in capital improvements. The program was designed to transform every facility in the district into 21st-century learning centers of excellence and ensures that all district schools achieve the same technology, energy and infrastructure standards.

In total, we provided engineering services for 23 schools and with construction costs of over $360 million. Our knowledge of school building code and NYSED requirements supported project completion from design through construction. We also facilitated the NYSED review and permitting process by attending NYSED meetings with BPS and project team personnel.

For Phase III, IV and V, we also provided a full scope of services to implement energy conservation and facility improvement measures at 60+ schools in support of a $71 million energy performance contract. Additionally, we provided engineering services for the Phase II and Phase V District-Wide Technology (DWT) projects, to include expansion of telecommunications wiring, infrastructure to support interactive whiteboards, and de-centralization of the District’s existing network hub with replacement at another location along with a redundant site, and each with N+1 reliability.
