Penta Career Center Campus Improvements

DGL provided the design for the mini roundabout and connector drive at the main entrance of the Penta Career Center campus to enhance traffic circulation and efficiency during peak hours of the school day. This project will be constructed in 2019 to align with the planned Buck and Lime City Road improvements adjacent to campus. Demolition of the existing intersection, minor drainage improvements, pavement markings and signage are also included with the project.

In separate contracts from the roundabout, DGL developed the construction documents for the perimeter security improvements, as well as providing the school with a campus master utility drawing. The perimeter security improvement plans included the layout and details for 1,900 feet of security fencing, 270 feet of galvanized chain-link fencing, vehicular sliding gates, swing gates, pedestrian gates and several decorative brick piers. DGL also worked very closely with Penta’s security contractor during design to ensure the school’s security needs were met when incorporating the new fencing, gates and access points. We also created a master utility drawing for the Penta campus. The school was in need of a drawing containing all underground site utilities that currently existed on their campus. DGL performed the necessary field work and record drawing research to create the drawing, which included each utility color coded and depicted for quick reference purposes.
