The building is
a seven-story concrete frame, brick facade residence
hall with conference rooms and public space
on the ground floor. The renovation project
required mold abatement, extensive modifications
to the HVAC system by replacement of 50% of
the building's fresh air supply duct distribution
system and a totally new building exhaust system,
new conditioned fresh air AHU installed with
new chilled water piping and gas reheat piping,
and the roof system was replaced to install
new rooftop equipment and systems. The masonry
skin was removed, the underlying sheathing and
vapor/moisture barrier repaired/replaced and
masonry reinstalled, and all penetrations re-caulked.
The project took place while
six of the seven floors were occupied by university
students and staff. All interior building systems
remained operational with coordinated shut-downs
for new tie-ins as required. |
