This project was the MEP/FP design for a new construction church with a large sanctuary, fellowship hall and meeting/classrooms. The HVAC system consisted of a ground mounted packaged unit for the sanctuary and split system condensing units with indoor gas fired air handlers for the remaining areas. The general lighting system used fluorescent downlights in the sanctuary and fellowship hall and fluorescent 2x4 fixtures throughout the remaining areas. Coordination was required for the theatrical lighting locations and power connections and the A/V system locations and power connections. A manual fire alarm system with occupancy notification was designed throughout the building which also monitored the sprinkler system.

This project was the MEP/FP design for a 35,000 S.F. new classroom and 900 seat worship center. The initial mechanical system study concluded the new addition would be most efficiently heated and air conditioned by a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system along with a dedicated outside air (DOAS) system. The VRF and DOAS systems were later value engineered out and replaced by conventional pad mounted gas fired air conditioning units. Coordination with the church’s audio, video and acoustics consultants where required for the HVAC system designs. The general lighting system used fluorescent downlights in the sanctuary and fellowship hall and fluorescent 2x4 fixtures throughout the remaining areas. Coordination was required for the theatrical lighting locations and power connections and the A/V system locations and power connections. A manual fire alarm system with occupancy notification was designed throughout the building which also monitored the sprinkler system.

This project consists of the renovation of 15,000 S.F. of an existing church. The renovated areas originally consisted of a fellowship hall, small kitchen, classrooms and an open courtyard area. The renovation utilized the open courtyard area to provide new classrooms while the existing noted areas were renovated with new HVAC, lighting and A/V systems. The electrical service and associated life safety generating were sized for the renovation and for a future 32,000 S.F. addition.
