Ulmer Hall Infrastructure Upgrade involved
a complete mechanical and electrical system replacement for a 1950’s
vintage laboratory classroom building to modern standards. Air conditioning
and makeup air was added for increased fume hoods and classrooms. The
existing plumbing system was modified to include a new acid waste system.
Modern telecommunications and computer networking systems were also
included in the design. The building electrical service was modified
and upgraded for the added mechanical and computer loads associated
with modern system requirements.
Designs were developed and/or modified
from feasibility studies conducted by an outside firm for the Department.
Ultimate systems provided for the project were developed based upon
the University’s needs and requirements in addition to budget
constraints placed upon the project through available funding.
The upgrade was a Department of
General Services project for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Interaction
was required between the various Department design review team members,
the Institution’s Facilities and Maintenance staff and the various
professors utilizing the space.
