1800 McCallie — The Stanley School

1800 McCallie is the full MEP and fire protection renovation of a historic brick building in Chattanooga, Tennessee — transforming the existing structure into a purpose-configured child daycare and early childhood education center. The renovated facility now operates as The Stanley School, a warm and welcoming environment purpose-built for young learners.

Full MEP and fire protection design for the renovation of the existing building, including HVAC zoning for classrooms, common areas, and administrative spaces, plumbing modifications to support child-scale fixtures and sanitary requirements, electrical upgrades and distribution throughout all renovated spaces, and fire protection coverage meeting the life safety requirements for a licensed childcare occupancy.

Renovating an existing building for licensed childcare occupancy requires meeting strict life safety, ventilation, and plumbing standards — including child-scale fixture requirements, enhanced HVAC filtration for young occupants, and fire protection systems designed to the specific code requirements for an E occupancy — all while preserving the character of the historic brick structure.
