The
project consisted of a 65,500-square-foot addition to the student recreation center
and with minor renovations to the existing facilities. The addition will include three
regulation size basketball courts at grade level with a 1/8 mile jogging track suspended
above the court area. A cardiovascular training area, exercise performing studio,
recreational sports equipment storage and rental area, weight training area, multiple
fitness centers, and new offices will also be included in the additions.The HVAC system is comprised of multiple single-zone air handlers
and one multi-zone air handler– each using chilled and heated water. All units have
direct digital control and full economizer capability to maximize energy conservation.
Chilled water is provided through an interconnect with the campus tunnel system. Steam
from the campus central plant is used as the heat source for heating water and domestic
hot water.
The plumbing
systems include waste, sewer, and vent piping, potable cold and hot water piping, and a
storm drainage system.
The electrical
system for the new addition and the existing facility will be served through a new single
transformer. The owner and local electrical utility scheduled the electrical back feed and
new transformer location. Agnew Associates designed the lighting for the courts in
conjunction with the architect and lighting representatives to meet the needs of the new
addition and to solve the existing lighting problems.
Agnew Associates
provided the following services: HVAC, electrical and plumbing design, construction
documents, and construction administration. |
