Lake Highlands Middle School Rendering

On Tuesday, September 6, 2022, the RWB team joined Cadence McShane Construction, Perkins & Will, and Richardson ISD to break ground on Lake Highlands Middle School . The team celebrated the start of construction at 10301 Walnut Hill Lane in Dallas, next to Lake Highlands Junior High.

Significantly, this project marks Richardson ISD’s first new school construction since 2014, showing a strong commitment to educational advancement. The new 249,000-square-foot, three-story school will feature flexible learning environments and an ICC-500-rated community tornado shelter for safety.

RWB designed the building’s MEP systems to support both student comfort and long-term energy efficiency. The district selected this site to replace the original Lake Highlands Junior High, which was built in the 1960s. As a result, the new facility will modernize education in the area and serve future generations for decades to come.

Lake Highlands Middle School Groundbreaking

The facility will use a 4-pipe chilled and heating water system to serve most of the school’s three-story structure. Meanwhile, rooftop AC units will condition the athletic areas and other specialty spaces throughout the building. Centrally located on the first floor, a STEM lab will feature a mechanical room with full-height windows.

This design allows students to observe the mechanical systems that serve the first floor in real time. As a result, instructors can easily incorporate real-world MEP system functions into their STEM curriculum. The design team positioned the project in an underutilized section of the adjacent field to enable phased construction. Because of this strategic placement, crews can build the new facility while keeping the existing school operational. This multi-year phased approach minimizes disruption to students and staff throughout the transition.

The new school will open in August 2024 and accommodate up to 1,500 students in grades 6 through 8. Perkins & Will serves as the Architect of Record, while Cadence McShane leads construction as the General Contractor.

Engineering Internships

RWB is proud to welcome six new interns this summer as part of our 2022 firm internship program.

During their time here at RWB, they will gain hands-on experience with MEP Engineering Design. They will help with the design process and documentation of current projects by working in AutoCAD and Revit and visiting project jobsites.

Year in School: Graduated with BSME May 2022, now pursuing an MBA (May 2023)
Major: Mechanical Engineering

Allyson chose mechanical engineering because she had always enjoyed math and wanted a field that gave me many career options. Also, there are few women in mechanical engineering (about 10% total) and she wanted to change that. Hobbies include tennis, hiking, staying busy, and going to Alabama athletics games (football, basketball, baseball).

School: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Year in School: Incoming Freshman
Major: Chemical Engineering

Nicolas was inspired to pursue chemical engineering by his high school Environmental Science teacher, who helped him realize how important chemical sciences are to modern society. He find myself fascinated by the complex web of chemical interactions between human industries, the environment, and our very bodies. Through chemistry, everything is united as one crazy complicated system.

Nicolas says, “Working at RWB has helped me realize that it is one hundred percent within my power to interact with this system, something that the engineers I work with get to do every day through their own expertise with MEP.”

Nicole is an incoming transfer student, and a part of the class of 2024, at the University of Texas at Austin where she will be studying Architectural Engineering.

Going into university, Nicole aspired to become a Civil Engineer. That changed after she found out about ArchE. Working in two research labs, doing research on thermal comfort, and energy efficiency made her realize that a career in MEP would give her more intellectual fulfillment.  Placing in 1st place at the Utilities Challenge Competition at her school, cemented this feeling for her.

Additionally, Nicole believes that a healthy work-life balance is necessary to be successful and happy. Therefore, she highly values the time that she can spend reading, home decorating, and shopping.
