Design of this 21,552 SF 2 story facility (with 11 residential units on the second floor) included electric water heater electric heat convectors, PEX plumbing for potable water, bathroom & kitchen exhaust fans, and natural ventilation for the residential units and mechanical ventilation with electric heat convectors for the first floor that is waiting on tenant improvements. Design also include public spaces, central laundry room, and mechanical spaces.
Design for this approximately 13,000 SF museum and cultural heritage center included a complete HVAC system to include tight humidity and temperature control, as well as four staged biomass boilers with a back up fuel oil boiler located in a separate boiler building. The new boiler system, also serves an existing facility on the project site. Design also included all required plumbing. This facility includes display areas, archive room, office space, loading/unloading area, and a meeting/craft area.
The project consisting of a 67,000-square foot facility on Alaska’s North Slope that included a 20,000-square foot aircraft hangar, 47,000 square feet of offices, 24 individual living quarters, a full commercial kitchen, and cargo handling facilities. This facility also includes a medical facility and indoor ambulance storage. The design allowed for: 65,000 gallons of fire water storage; hydronic heating systems; constant volume ventilation systems; in-floor radiant heat for living areas and offices; and, snow melt for entries, the hangar door, and all overhead doors. Since the facility is located in an area with no water distribution, domestic water storage and on-site waste disposal were also provided; these two systems require special design considerations to provide domestic water at the proper pressure, they also provide lift stations to remove the waste from various areas throughout the facility.
Location: Deadhorse, Alaska
