The project included 26,000 SF of renovated space and 56,000 SF of new construction, requiring MEP systems designed to accommodate a wide range of occupancies. After evaluating multiple options, a high-efficiency Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system was selected for its flexibility and energy performance, serving all office and classroom areas.

Laboratory spaces are supported by 100% outside air heat recovery units, while chilled water is supplied by modular gas-fired absorption chillers. Electrical design encompassed new lighting, power distribution, and emergency power systems to ensure reliability and code compliance throughout the facility.
