Glumac performed mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineering, fire alarm, and solar system design services for the new AB Building for Malibu High School within the Santa Monica – Malibu Unified School District.

The new 45,690-square-foot building contains a science and computer lab, library, student cafe, media center, classrooms, and administration and support spaces, replacing the school’s old library and administration buildings, and serving as a grand entry to the campus. As part of the project, a two-story science building was demolished, and the site was tested to ensure safety compliance. Additionally, the new Middle School Parking Lot D was built.

The installation of a new central plant serves as the primary HVAC system for the entire building.
