Butler R-V High School

Project Summary

Butler R-V High School had been looking into expanding their platform for sports for a couple of years. As we all know, these types of projects take planning and preparation to achieve. Butler R-V High School was in need of adding an extra gym as the student body grew. By adding another gym, it would allow the High School to play multiple Basketball Games or Volleyball Games at the same time.

Butler R-V School District also has an exceptional Wrestling Program, and the dual gyms are used for wrestling tournaments as well. During the day the high wall translucent panels allow natural light to come in saving on overall energy cost. At night when the lights are on it allows for all the people in town to know a sporting event is going on.

With the new addition of the gym to the school district Butler R-V couldn’t be happier that they made the decision to add on to the existing building. As a spectator you can stand on the top of the mezzanine and watch multiple games or events at the same time, which is especially useful if you have two kids in sports at different levels. You will also stay very warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the R-30 insulation package that was installed on the roof and Insulated metal panels on the walls.

Koehn Building Systems signed a design contract to help the architect and construction manager by incorporating metal building design and the needs of the school district for the overall outcome. Koehn Building Systems assisted the design and construction management team in getting the project to the final design phase. Once the design was complete Koehn Building Systems supplied the building package and erected the metal building.
