PROJECTS
HEALTH PROFESSIONS, NURSING & PHARMACY COMPLEX
The proposed Health Professions, Nursing and Pharmacy (HPNP) Complex for the University of Florida has been programmed to be a new 173,133 gross square foot facility that, in conjunction with existing Health Science Center Facilities, will provide for the educational, administrative and research space needs of the Colleges of Health Professions, Nursing and Pharmacy. The facility will consist of classrooms, lecture halls, teaching laboratories, administrative office space, faculty offices, research and the associated support space required for these functions and general operation of the building. A total project budget of $29,124,000 has been established for this project, with $24,727,000 allocated for building construction, site and utility infrastructure costs.
Consistent with the University of Florida Comprehensive Master Plan, the HPNP Complex is to be sited on the North side of the Health Science Center main complex, and adjacent to the existing Communicore building, in order to provide a functional relationship to, and extension of, existing educational facilities utilized by the 6 colleges at the University of Florida Health Science Center (Colleges of Dentistry, Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine). The limits of the project site were defined to accommodate a multi-story facility, that being the most efficient use of the available land area for this and future projects.
HVAC - central HVAC connected to campus chilled water and steam including premium energy conservation measures or other systems as required to limit the peak cooling load to the capabilities of the existing chiller plant. Electrical - power, emergency power, telephone, data, fire alarm, lighting, lightning protection, layout of audio and video systems.
EMERSON ALUMNI HALL
The new facility for the University of Florida features a state-of-the-art, high-technology classroom and seminar space for use by alumni, faculty, retired faculty and students for continuing education; interview rooms for on-campus recruiting; libraries; study lounges; and a gift shop managed by retail marketing students.
HUME RESIDENCE HALL
This project for the University of Florida consists of site development and the construction of six three-story structures to provide roughly 153,100 GSF of single, suite, and apartment unit residential housing space, plus a 10,000 GSF commons building for management and general student activities. Demolition of existing Hume Hall will be accomplished by others. The project will be delivered by conventional GC bid with an approximate construction budget of $17,650,000.00.
Services included HVAC (4-pipe fan coil units, 100% OA ventilation Units, CHW and HHW), Electrical (power, emerg. power, lighting, phone/data, CATV, security, F/A, lightning protection), Plumbing (water, sanitary sewer), Fire Protection (full sprinklers) and Sitework (elec power, landscape & parking lot lighting), steam & condensate, telecom/data, gas & fire protection).
THE SAMUEL P. HARN MUSEUM OF ART
This project provided for a new art museum and gallery. Facilities included 5 galleries, auditorium, administration areas, kitchen/dining and work shop areas, each with individual temperature and humidity controls. The building was fully sprinklered and M&A also provided for general use and office lighting.
A new central cooling plant designed by Moses & Associates, Inc. was constructed to provide cooling for this building, the Center for Performing Arts and the Florida Natural History Museum. Cooling was provided by two 600-ton water-cooled centrifugal chillers. Heating was provided in the Harn Museum of Art by two 700 MBH boilers.
Acting as consultant, M&A provided all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and controls engineering and designs for this project. M&A also assisted in bidding and provided construction administration for the project.
SANTA FE COMMUNITY COLLEGE - SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY BUILDING (N), NW CAMPUS
M&A provided complete design and construction administration services for this new 3-story, 35,000 sq. ft. teaching laboratory facility on the NW Santa Fe Community Campus in Gainesville.
The work included new heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, fire alarm system, automatic sprinkler system, acid waste piping systems, fume hood systems, fume exhaust snorkel systems, special laboratory gas systems and DI water system.
M&A was the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design engineer for this project. M&A also assisted in bidding and provided construction administration for the project.
The work also included a new computer laboratory and reworking the site infrastructure to accommodate the new building and to keep adjacent buildings functional while the site work was underway. The chilled water system was designed so that adjacent building could be served with existing chilled water until the new chilled water infrastructure was in place.
