Paint booth removal for schools and CTE programs
School and CTE finishing areas may serve collision repair, welding, fabrication, woodworking or industrial arts programs in spaces shared by students, instructors and maintenance staff. Double D Mechanical removes paint booths by planning utility disconnects, exhaust and make-up air isolation, component access, staging and the final condition needed for the next lab or shop layout.
Discuss your installationShop access during campus work
Removal planning should account for classroom doors, shop aisles, storage areas, lifts, benches and student work zones. Booth panels, fans and duct sections need a route that respects building access and the equipment that remains in the program space.
Air equipment and roof penetrations
Older booths may include exhaust stacks, roof fans, filter banks, heaters and make-up air connections. These should be traced before removal so the school can decide what is removed, capped, patched or left for future instruction areas.
Utilities for teaching labs
Power, lighting, controls, compressed air and gas service can be routed near benches, lifts and storage. Double D Mechanical coordinates the teardown sequence with facility staff and trades so disconnects are addressed before booth components are removed.
Information to have ready
Prepare booth drawings if available, utility panel locations, roof access details, photos of the shop, door sizes and the intended future use of the area. It also helps to identify campus access limits and storage locations for movable shop equipment.
Frequently asked questions
What should a school review before paint booth removal?
Review utilities, exhaust and make-up air equipment, shop access, student areas, roof penetrations and the desired final condition of the space.
Can removal be planned around academic schedules?
Scheduling can be discussed during planning, along with building access, staging areas and the work that facility staff or trades need to complete.
What campus staff should be involved?
Facilities, maintenance, program instructors and any electrical, mechanical or roofing trades should be involved before the scope is set.
What if the booth drawings are missing?
Photos, measurements, utility locations, fan information and roof access details can still help define the removal plan during the site review.
