K-12 Education

Deseret Peak High School

Tooele County School District / Tooele, Utah

Deseret Peak High School, a new $84 million, 336,020 SF high school campus, represents a highly collaborative project to achieve the most recent, cutting-edge standards for K-12 school design. Our team worked to support the school district and architectural design team's goals to create a school and learning environment to maximize use and flexibility, technology, safety, and energy efficiency.

To successfully address site-specific restrictions and existing conditions, we engineered a 1/4-mile power line to connect the school site, which included close coordination with Rocky Mountain Power and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our electrical design also included pre-engineering for photovoltaic panels to accommodate future solar panels, if desired. The building is technologically advanced, with a robust wireless framework to support extensive Internet and classroom video usage. We also designed state-of-the-art school security systems. Additional services included acoustical design for the school’s auditorium, gymnasium, commons/dining area, and the choir, band, Little Theater, and performing arts practice rooms.

Our team provided innovative lighting design, which includes energy-efficient LED lighting throughout to enhance learning in classroom spaces, decorative lighting in common areas, and specialized theatrical lighting. The stunning exterior lighting design has become a community landmark and accentuates the school exterior and integrates with Deseret Peak's branding.

Envision Engineering completed this project before the merger.
