In this remodel and new construction project, Westphal & Co., Inc. provided electrical and telecom installations to 315,000 square feet at Middleton High School. Single and multi-story lab facilities, a cafeteria, a 900 seat auditorium, and relocation of the school’s main service were all completed within the scope of this project.

Westphal & Co., Inc. completed a 122,000 square-foot addition and remodel at Waterford High School. Complete electrical installations were provided to 47,000 square feet of remodeled interior space and 75,000 square feet of new additions. The new construction project added high level technical-education classrooms, a cafeteria, and a 500 seat auditorium. The entire fire alarm system was upgraded, and the adjacent middle school was attached to the high school.

This is a 13,500 square-foot addition which also includes selective remodeling of the existing school. New fire alarm system, emergency power, clock systems as well as LED light fixtures are included in our scope.

This project consisted of a 42,000 square foot addition as well as selective remodeling of the existing school. The addition consisted of a state-of-the-art 806 seat auditorium in which we installed stage lighting, theatrical lighting, theatrical dimming, and stage lighting rigging. The addition also included a band room and vocal rooms along with workrooms, restrooms, and ancillary spaces. Our scope also included auditorium catwalk lighting, building lighting, power, and fire alarm.

100,000 square-foot addition and remodel work at Grove Campus. Our work consisted of lighting, power, mechanical system connections, and electrical distribution system upgrades. Our Globalcom Technologies division’s scope of work included structured cabling for voice and data, a building access control system, the integrated clock/PA system, sound system, and CCTV system. 

This project includes a 5,600 square-foot addition, a complete demolition and remodeling of 42,000 square feet of space, and additional system upgrades in 132,000 square feet of the existing school. We are installing lighting and fire alarm upgrades, a new PA system, a new emergency power system, and upgrading the existing data and voice cabling infrastructure.

This project consisted of remodeling 92,000 square feet of the existing school, plus a 48,000 square-foot addition. The project had an aggressive schedule that required us to work on second and third shifts to complete, since the school was in operation during construction. Our project scope included the installation of new light fixtures, a PA system, clock system, fire alarm system, emergency power and new voice/data cabling by our Globalcom Technologies division. While the remodeling took place, the addition was being built at the same time. During the summer break, a new 2500 amp 480V electrical system and emergency generator power system was installed.

The 108,000 square-foot Milton High School project consists of a new gym, pool, and shop classroom area and the renovation of 75,000 square feet of existing space. Our electrical and telecom scope of work includes: increasing the size of the electrical service in order to accommodate the additions; adding a new emergency generator; expanding the emergency and night light circuits for existing light fixtures throughout the school. All other electrical and telecom work includes: power distribution; fire alarm; lighting and controls both in the building and on the surrounding site; voice; data; audio-visual cabling; building security; overhead paging; and AV.

This new high school, at 580,000 square feet, is the largest high school in the State of Wisconsin. The project commenced in the spring of 2018 and was completed in time for the 2020-2021 school year.  

The project consisted of three stories of academic space with a four-story atrium that separates the classroom towers. The building includes a state-of-the-art performing arts center, a pool wing that includes both a competition pool and a community pool, a music and arts wing, a field house wing with a 41,000 square-foot gymnasium, lighted football and soccer stadiums, lighted baseball and softball fields, remote concession stands and practice fields, and lighted walking paths.  This is a design-assist project, in that we provided value engineering input and constructability input to the design team with the goal of giving the owner the best products at the best value while meeting all budget criteria.

We were responsible for all electrical and communication systems including, but not limited to, two 3000 amp electrical utility services, backup generator, power, lighting, fire alarm, two-way communication, overhead paging, building intercom, clock system, security card access, security cameras, phone and computer cabling, and Wi-Fi. The challenging parts of this project included the BIM layout and constructability due to the sheer size and complexity of the structure.
