Jupiter Engineering Firm instrumental in development of Renaissance Charter Schools

Renaissance Charter Schools are expanding throughout Palm Beach County and RGD Consulting Engineers is proud to be a part of the expansion.

The Renaissance Charter Schools are managed by Charter Schools USA Inc., a Fort Lauderdale based company. They currently manage 37 schools in the state of Florida and are hoping to increase that number.  Last year, a Renaissance Charter school was opened in West Palm Beach, and three more are being planned.   

RGD Engineers has played an integral role in the development of these schools throughout the county.  Recently, RGD provided mechanical, electrical, and structural solutions for Renaissance Summit Blvd. located in West Palm Beach.  The school is now accepting applications for 2013-2014. 

Planning for another Renaissance school is underway with the new location in the Gardens.  Construction cannot begin until, city planning, zoning and appeals board reviews the plan and the city council approves it.  RGD Engineers will be planning and providing on-site management for the mechanical, electrical, and structural designs.
