Existing office spaces in Building 18 were renovated to allow for the addition of the SPS department.

Design highlights include:

• Addition of a dedicated exterior VAV air handler
• Detailed ventilation calculations that considered room air balances and overall building pressurization
• New compressed air and vacuum pumps with a corresponding distribution network to all workstations throughout the space with hose reels used for compressed air outlets
• Heating hot water generation via steam heat exchangers
• Addition of a new steam domestic hot water heater to prevent additional demands being placed on the building’s older system with the domestic hot water supply system including recirculation
• Coordinated routing of ductwork and piping to maximize SPS area ceiling heights
• Full LED space lighting with dimming and occupancy sensors with antimicrobial fixtures that can be wetted
• Reverse osmosis water system for sterilizer equipment and car wash
• Secondary outlets at certain workstations
• Replacement of existing building main power distribution center
