Project overview

This high-profile university project demanded a fast-tracked, 14-month schedule with double shifts. Air Design worked closely with the design team to develop mechanical systems that were both efficient and accessible for long-term use.

The entire mechanical room was laid out by our team to better serve the owner and building engineers. The project was frequently featured in the media due to its size and visibility.

What made this project complex

  • High-pressure timeline with strict 14-month deadline
  • High public visibility and media coverage
  • Need for mechanical systems that were both high-performing and user-friendly

How we delivered

  • Hosted additional MEP BIM meetings to expedite coordination
  • Supported the design team to ensure ease of maintenance and accessibility
  • Applied lessons learned to streamline communication and decision-making early in the process
