HVAC, Networking & Security Upgrades

Project Vision

Create a safe, comfortable, and connected learning environment in our new campus by upgrading HVAC for classrooms and common areas, installing a reliable wired/wireless network, and enhancing campus security. These improvements lower utilities and maintenance, protect students and staff, and support excellent teaching.

Bring Comfort, Safety, and Connectivity to Every Student

Classes begin without air conditioning. This project raises the funds needed to install HVAC, security, and networking so every classroom and common area is ready for learning—efficiently, safely, and on time.

Why This Matters Now

  • Comfort for learning: Cool, healthy classrooms keep students focused and teachers effective.
  • Safety at the door: Controlled access and sensible camera coverage protect people and property.
  • Reliable connectivity: Campus-wide Wi-Fi and hard-wired networking support instruction, testing, and communication.
  • Stewardship: Modern systems reduce maintenance and lower utilities over the long term.

What This Project Delivers

HVAC Upgrades

Efficient heating and cooling for classrooms, hallways, and office areas—sized and installed for reliable, year-round comfort.

Security Essentials

Exterior/entry cameras, basic recording, and door access controls to monitor the perimeter and secure key points of entry.

Campus Networking

Structured cabling, managed switches, and access points to provide strong Wi-Fi coverage and dependable connections for classrooms, offices, and security devices.

Estimated Budget & Timeline

Estimated total: $80,000

HVAC: ~$60–65k (classrooms + hallways + office areas)

Security: ~$8–10k (entry coverage, basic NVR/storage, core licenses)

Networking: ~$5–7k (cabling, switches, access points)

Contingency: ~$3–5k (installation incidentals & permits)

Figures are best-estimate ranges and will be refined as bids are finalized. Work proceeds in phases as funds are received, prioritizing classrooms first, then common areas and offices.

Matching Gift Challenge — First $20,000 Doubled

A generous donor will match the first $20,000 given to this project dollar-for-dollar. Every gift helps twice—moving HVAC, security, and networking upgrades forward faster.

  • One-time gifts are matched 1:1 until $20,000 is reached.
  • Funds support highest-impact needs: HVAC, then security and networking.
  • After the match is met, gifts keep fueling remaining phases.
$50 → $100 $250 → $500 $1,000 → $2,000

Matching funds remaining: $20,000
