Spring 2023 Architects & Engineers Project Report: Bolivar Middle School safe room

RTM Engineering Consultants LLC

RTM Engineering Consultants LLC is the mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer for the 8,600-square-foot Bolivar Middle School safe room that will be used as a secondary gymnasium for wrestling, basketball and volleyball. The $2.9 million safe room is a federally funded project that will serve the students and staff at the adjacent middle school and district office. Officials say the facility is situated north of the existing gymnasium, so the two facilities could be connected by a lobby in a future construction phase. Paragon Architecture LLC designed the project, RE Smith Construction Co. is the general contractor and Toth and Associates Inc. is the civil and structural engineer. The project is slated for completion in October.
