Warner Hall Renovations

BKM provided MEP design services to convert the existing women’s residence hall, built in the 1920’s, to administrative and counseling services spaces. The building was converted from a heating-only system to full HVAC air conditioning. The mechanical systems are designed to accommodate the historic building’s limited available service spaces by utilizing a dedicated outside air unit for ventilation along with concealed fan coil units for direct conditioning. Careful consideration was given to integrating MEP systems with the retained architectural elements of the building’s main entryway and meeting room areas. Heating and cooling infrastructure was provided and coordinated with the campus’ steam and chilled water central utility distribution. The electrical systems include a new gas-fired generator on site and all new 208-voltage power distribution. A new dedicated fire pump was provided to provide full sprinkler coverage to the building.
