Tutuhan, Guam
This project, which was completed by Pernix employees, included the design and construction of the new $30 million Guam High School and associated facilities. Located on the cliff line at Guam Naval Hospital Compound, it overlooks Hagatna Bay and accommodates nearly 500 students, faculty, and staff.
Construction began with the demolition of 10 existing residential duplex and four-plex buildings including the removal of all hazardous materials contained in and under the existing buildings. This two-story, 115,000 square-foot facility was constructed utilizing reinforced cast in place concrete walls, long span precast double tee roof and floors, structural steel roof trusses with metal decking, and concrete topping at the gymnasium buildings. The design complies with anti-terrorism force protection (AT/FP) standards.
The new main building consists of a two-story wing with:
