Design Program:

Electrical Scope:

Lighting/Power/Security System:  The lighting system utilized indirect and direct lighting fixtures that are interlinked with occupancy sensors that provide an energy efficient building at 277 volts.  The      occupancy sensors also furnish control for mechanical HVAC equipment for minimizing usage.  The    security system includes fixed cameras at strategic locations  with  video  monitoring  and  tape  backup  system  and  also incorporates  magnetic card readers  and  automatic locking  features for  authorized entry.  Power utilizes a  277/480 volt  system with step  down  transformers  to  furnish 120/280  volt distribution  for  receptacle needs, a stand  by generator  was  designed  to  furnish  emergency power for lighting, elevator, and  selective  receptacles  for  communications  equipment.  Design included   coordination with structured cabling system, which included cable tray through corridors and telecomm closures, proper pathway sizing, and a grounding system for proper telecommunication closets.

Mechanical Scope:

Plumbing/HVAC/Fire Protection:  The plumbing system included gas water heater, gang toilets, science room sinks, storm drainage and a snow melt system.  The HVAC system included hot water boilers, air cooled chiller, two 24,000 cfm variable air volume units,  air to  air recovery for each VAV unit, medium pressure duct systems, medium pressure duct system, terminal box with reheat, motion detector room thermostats.
