Project Highlights and Results

• ASHRAE Excellence in Engineering Award; First-Place: Chapter.
• Completed 8-year phased project while building was occupied.
• Design solution to convert the building to classroom and office spaces addressed the following significant challenges:
  • Building holds National Landmark Status
  • Building listed on National Registrar of Historic Places
  • Poor comfort and indoor air quality with no central cooling
  • No central system to introduce outside air
  • Poorly controlled steam heating system
    • No horizontal ductwork at all in the building
    • City of Chicago ventilation standards would have required exhaust risers and ductwork too large to fit within building spaces.
