Penn State University
General Studies Building – Mt. Alto Campus
Faced with the need to upgrade mechanical facilities and improve the structure to meet fire and safety codes, SGS was engaged to design the required modifications.
The project consisted of total renovation of the second and third floors of the building and selected modifications on the first floor. A total HVAC replacement included a new chiller, boiler, and cooling tower for the four-pipe system. Lighting system upgrades were required on the second and third floors and in the first-floor auditorium.
All doors in the facility were replaced to meet fire safety codes and restrooms were modified to meet ADA requirements. Other work included electrical system upgrades and telephone/data line improvements.
