St. Paul School
Project Overview
Jarrell was selected to complete a full HVAC upgrade at St. Paul School in Highland, IL, delivering modern, energy-efficient comfort systems to a three-story facility on an aggressive summer break schedule. The scope included the installation of new dedicated outdoor air units (DOAS), VRF systems, and 50 ceiling-mounted units throughout the building.
- Location: Highland, IL
- Market Sector: Education / School
- Timeline: May 2025 - August 2025
- Square Footage: 35,040 sq. ft
- Partners: Owner - St. Paul Parish | GC - The Korte Company
Project Scope
The layout and vertical nature of the school required extensive ductwork, gas piping, and control wiring across multiple levels, necessitating high coordination among trades. The Jarrell team rose to the occasion, meeting each milestone and providing every crew with the time and space they needed to work safely and efficiently.
Key Highlights:
- Installed DOAS and VRF systems for efficient cooling and ventilation
- Renovated HVAC across all three levels of the school
- Installed 50 new ceiling units with upgraded control wiring
- Coordinated ductwork, piping, and installation within a tight summer schedule
Teamwork in Action
The project kicked off with three truckloads of materials and equipment, including all ductwork and VRF units. Crane picks were strategically phased: the first for curb and DOAS installation, and the second for setting condensers. When an issue with the seismic spring system was spotted between crane days, the Jarrell team quickly coordinated with The Korte Company, Budrovich, and TMI to survey, diagnose, and reinstall the equipment without delay. The quick thinking and quality-first mindset earned praise from Korte’s QC team.
