Trautman Associates has provided architectural and engineering services for numerous projects for the Buffalo Public School District. The projects have run the full gamut of A/E services. Exterior services have included window/door replacement, masonry restoration, chimney reconstruction, and roof repair/replacement. Services on building interiors have included classroom and laboratory renovation, swimming pool investigation/repair, elevator repair/installation, and cafeteria and kitchen projects. At School 3, D’Youville Porter Campus School, we constructed a second and third floor addition. All of these projects made use of Trautman Associates’ engineering expertise, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil/structural.

Because many of the District’s buildings were built near the turn of the 20th century, our work for the Buffalo Public Schools often involved careful consideration of the New York State Board of Historic Preservation (SHPO) guidelines.
