Kanta Electric performed major electrical infrastructure installation services for the construction of the new five-story PS 320X Annex School in the Bronx as part of the New York City School Construction Authority’s ongoing educational facilities expansion and modernization program.

The project involved installation of electrical service infrastructure, switchboards, panelboards, power distribution systems, interior and exterior lighting systems, lighting controls, telecommunications infrastructure, fire alarm systems, CCTV and security systems, grounding systems, lightning protection systems, and associated conduit and wiring systems supporting the operation of a modern multi-story educational facility.

Kanta’s scope also included underground electrical service infrastructure, utility coordination with Con Edison, concrete-encased duct bank systems, low-voltage systems integration, classroom technology infrastructure, emergency and life-safety systems, and extensive testing and commissioning activities required for NYCSCA institutional occupancy standards.

Understanding the Site and Challenges

Executed within a technically demanding institutional construction environment, the project required extensive coordination across multiple trades, phased construction sequencing, integration of critical educational facility infrastructure systems, and strict adherence to NYCSCA standards, NYC code requirements, and public-sector construction protocols.

The new PS 320X Annex School was developed to support long-term educational capacity expansion within the Bronx community through the delivery of modern instructional, technology, safety, and building infrastructure systems designed for long-term operational reliability and future flexibility.

This project highlights Kanta Electric’s experience delivering complex educational, institutional, and public-sector electrical infrastructure solutions across large-scale K-12 construction and modernization projects throughout New York City.
