University of North Dakota Law School

The University of North Dakota Law School was originally built in 1923. In 2016, the law school was given a major renovation to the original building and a 15,000 square foot addition. The new addition and renovation featured improved educational space, improved study and workspace, new offices and a case study class room.

The existing mechanical systems were completely removed and replaced. New variable air volume HVAC systems were installed through the entire facility. Since the original building was not equipped with cooling, a new central plant chilled water system was designed to serve both the existing and new wing. Heating systems were fed from UND’s central steam to the facility and converted to hot water.

Another significant portion of the project was to bring the facility up to current life safety codes. A new fully automated fire suppression system was installed through the original and new wings of the facility. Wet sprinkler systems were also installed on lower floors and a dry system was installed in the attic of the original 1920 facility.

AgCountry

AgCountry has a state-of-the-art underfloor displacement ventilation system that creates a quiet, comfortable work environment. The in-floor diffusers vary the airflow based on space needs and individual zones. This causes the heating and cooling to rise, while being hidden beneath the floor. This method is energy efficient and is aesthetically pleasing. The mechanical system utilizes a single duct VAV coupled with a boiler and chiller. An access floor system was used to house all mechanical, electrical and network systems. We worked with Icon Architectural Group on this project to produce a stunning end result.
