Institutional Project Sample

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
REISS SCIENCE BUILDING/
WHITE-GRAVENOR BUILDING
Washington, DC

This project was a phased mechanical renovation of two occupied laboratory research and classroom buildings. Shapiro & Duncan was responsible for replacement of building service air handling units (AHUs), heating and cooling systems, glycol systems, plate heat exchangers, steam revisions, fan coil units, unit ventilators, ductwork, DDC controls, acid waste systems, and laboratory liquid/gas revision.

The project was challenging because the buildings remained fully occupied, with research work and classes in progress during the entire renovation project. Extreme precaution was required to prevent the interruption of laboratory experimentation and research.
