Our firm has recently completed work on a multi-use facility for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The facility incorporates all the elements of a small rural college campus. Individual buildings for the several program elements are served from a central mechanical cooling plant. The total gross area of the complex is approximately 350,000 ft2 plus a remote sewage treatment plant. The program includes:
(2) Classroom Buildings
(3) Housing Clusters
(1) Laboratory Building
(1) Dining/Commons Building
(1) Support Services Building
(1) Auditorium/Administration Building
(1) Production Studio
(1) Day Care Center
(1) Physical Training Facility
The mechanical design has many progressive design features. These include, primary/secondary/ tertiary chilled and hot water pumping systems, several energy recovery applications, and an aggressive water conservation program which utilizes industrial fluid coolers for heat rejection and ozone water treatment to minimize the consumption of water use by the climate control system. Other features include ventilation air pre-treatment and energy recovery. The residential buildings utilize refrigerant heat recovery for domestic water pre-heating.
