John Tickle Building, Estabrook Hall Renovation

ICT provided MEP design services for this new 113,900 SF building to house the civil and environmental engineering department. The facility includes 14 Civil Engineering labs, two computer labs, administrative space and four large classrooms. The design work included medium voltage distribution to a 3000-amp main service for the building.  Also included was a 250-kW diesel generator feeding essential and non-essential distribution throughout the building.  A chilled water system was designed to serve both the new facility and the existing Pasqua Engineering Building. The chilled water plant consisted of two 182-ton packaged air cooled variable speed screw chillers with a primary/secondary pumping system; two pair of pumps in a standby arrangement were installed to serve the Tickle Building and the adjacent Pasqua building.  Labs include high bay testing, concrete labs, pavement labs, hydraulics, soils and Geotech labs. A transportation lab and wood/metal workshops are included.
