Falk Research Center, School of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.  Mechanical design for renovations to 8,000 square feet of the first floor of this three–story biomedical laboratory research building.  The upgrade will allow the facility to meet current codes and increase the number of wet lab bench spaces by replacing a series of small, enclosed lab and office spaces with large, contiguous, open labs.  Offices are  converted to laboratory support spaces for new equipment including fume hoods, refrigerators, freezers, and centrifuges.  The work is being completed in five phases to allow for continuous operation.  Our work began in 2001, with Phase III constructed in 2004. 
Mudd Chemistry Building.  Study of the Mudd Chemistry Building’s six fume hood exhaust systems, which are in continuous use in this three-story, 60,000 sf building constructed in 1975.  The university wanted the systems to be reconfigured to provide cross connection between systems with new redundant fan systems that would automatically compensate for fan failures or maintenance shutdowns, as the existing systems were able to be maintained only once each year, on Christmas Day.  Subsequent work included life safety upgrades for code compliance. 
Dubois Laboratory occupies rooms 177, 187 & 189 on the first floor of the Mudd Chemistry Building.   Our work included modifications to supply and exhaust systems to accommodate the addition of five new fume hoods, development of space requirements for new equipment,  and coordination with campus utility systems.
