Rutgers University Busch Dining
Hall Expansion
Piscataway, NJ
Rock Brook provided Mechanical,
Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection engineering
design services for Rutgers University as part of
their 5,000 sq. ft. expansion to the Busch Dining
Hall on Busch Campus in Piscataway, New Jersey. The
project included the design of new rooftop HVAC
units as well as the design of a new fire water
service and new electrical power distribution for
branch circuit wiring. Although Rutgers University
did not elect to pursue a formal LEED certification,
engineering design included LEED criteria to provide
energy efficiency systems and components.
Peddie School
Fitness Facility
Hightstown, NJ
The grassroots design of
a new sustainable world class Natatorium with a
modified glass wall design allowing natural light to
flow through the facility. Additional projects
include a field house, fitness training rooms,
meeting rooms and a new high-end lobby. We designed
state of the art HVAC systems, and designed
electrical plumbing, fire protection, and heat
systems.
The
Lawrenceville School - Kirby House Porch and Façade
Update
Lawrenceville, NJ
The Crescent
Dormitories, Kirby, Stephens, Stanley and McClellan
all have small entry porches. The renovation of
these porches includes additional lighting and power
circuits to facilitate outdoor involvement and
circulation requirements. In addition to the porch
renovation, a new bay window is added. This addition
will require the modification of the existing
perimeter heating system.
The
Lawrenceville School - Health & Wellness Center
Lawrenceville, NJ
The new 17,000 square foot infirmary is LEED Silver
certified.. HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire
protection design was provided for the infirmary
which includes examination rooms, an x-ray suite,
overnight rooms and an isolation room. A dedicated
chiller, emergency generator and redundant steam and
natural gas heating system is installed to provide
the redundancy required for this facility. The
central lobby used radiant flooring heating with a
sustainable wood flooring to provide the comfort
conditioning.
The
Lawrenceville School - The Carter House
Lawrenceville, NJ
The new 20,000 square
foot dormitory is projected to receive LEED
certification. HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire
protection design is provided for the dormitory
which will be the fifth Crescent dormitory. The
dormitory includes sitting rooms, laundry
facilities, dorm rooms and faculty apartments. The
building will be served by the School’s central
steam distribution system. The buildings mechanical,
electrical and plumbing distribution systems are
designed for future chilled water service using fan
coils, while the building will remain perimeter
radiant heating only.
The
Lawrenceville School - Campus Steam Distribution
Lawrenceville, NJ
The Lawrenceville School
presently has a central low pressure steam
distribution system that was designed and installed
approximately 100 years ago. Due numerous repairs
and additions, the School requested a new central
low pressure loop steam distribution system. The new
distribution system, when complete, has three loops
which will allow steam a minimum of two ways to
supply all the buildings. The loop is designed to be
completed over five phases. The new loop is sized to
allow for future additions and facilitate repairs.
Drew University
Madison, NJ
Designed the electrical
engineering infrastructure, systems and power
distribution for a new college dormitory at Drew
University in Madison, New Jersey. The electrical
engineering design included a new incoming
electrical service entrance and all associated power
distribution infrastructure. To provide emergency
power, a life safety emergency generator system was
designed with separate automatic transfer switches,
including a new building fire pump system. The base
building engineering design included a new fire
alarm control panel and associated life safety
systems. |
