Lee Mechanical is proud to be a trusted partner in the development of Racine’s forward-thinking Red Apple K-8 School, an innovative STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) facility designed to shape the future of education in the community.
With over 40 team members contributing to the success of this project, our in-house BIM team played a central role in designing and coordinating mechanical, building automation, and plumbing systems. Lee’s expert tradespeople—including sheet metal workers, steamfitters, plumbers, and low-voltage controls specialists—are executing a robust scope of work that includes the installation of:
One of the standout features of this facility is its educational transparency: mechanical rooms and wall sections are viewable by students, offering an interactive way to understand the engineering behind modern building systems, making it a true flagship for STEAM learning.
This school isn’t just being built for students—it’s being built to inspire them.
A fully coordinated BIM project, Red Apple required seamless collaboration across all trades to meet its aggressive timeline.
Lee’s commitment to precision, teamwork, and innovation has been instrumental in keeping the project on track toward its opening goal for the winter semester of 2025.
