JE Dunn Construction Transforms Tarpon Springs High School in Florida

TAMPA, FL — An $18.1-million modernization of Tarpon Springs High School in Pinellas County, Florida, was completed recently by JE Dunn Construction, the project’s construction manager.

From resolving drainage problems and demolishing multiple buildings, to upgrading interior systems throughout campus facilities and constructing a 12,261-square-foot building to serve as the new home for Tarpon Springs High School’s Leadership Conservatory for the Arts, JE Dunn’s work scope covered more than a dozen structures and a host of site improvements.

Renovations and upgrades included complete acoustical upgrades in the auditorium, along with replacement of flooring and carpet, painting, new doors and hardware sets, canopy installations, new plumbing systems, improved acoustics, updated electrical power sources, new walls and ceilings, and more efficient HVAC systems.

Courtyards and outdoor classrooms, new landscaping and sidewalks, storm water utility upgrades including improved storm water detention, and modified parking and drive lanes were among site improvements.

The project architect of record was Rowe Architects of Tampa.
