RSA Engineering provided full mechanical and electrical design and construction administration services for the Kivalina Replacement School, a remote, self-contained facility built seven miles inland from the village due to erosion concerns.
This multi-building project includes a K-12 school, wastewater treatment plant, mechanical plant, teacher housing, and storage facilities. RSA’s design addressed arctic conditions, energy efficiency, and system independence as well as incorporating heat recovery, water circulation, and DDC systems to ensure reliable operations in an off-grid environment.
