Yeah see there are small sized schools, medium sized schools, and large schools. An AVERAGE means a typical building size. This school has 1000 students which is not big or small, it's an AVERAGE sized school.

I have done full electrical and low voltage design for schools, hospitals, businesses, apartments, etc. You don't know shit lol

Minnechaug is a large-ish school in terms of campus size. Definitely not the biggest around here, but larger than average. Sidenote: It's a beautiful school. Hope they fix their lights.

My definition of a large school is 2000+ which is common for high schools in my area. Elementary schools usually have ~500 and middle schools have 1000+.

A school of approx 1000 students, whatever you want to call it (big or average), is what I was basing my estimates off of.

Yeah if it’s 277v LEDS this building could probably be on 2 - 3 circuit breakers for lights easily
