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.

Minard Hall – North Dakota State University

Originally built in 1901, Minard Hall was in need of a remodel in 2009. We provided mechanical upgrades to the historic building and designed a more efficient system to get the most out of the building, with the least cost for the client.

Brown Hall – Concordia College

Originally built in 1947, Brown Hall is an iconic, historic space on Concordia’s Campus. The four-story structure houses around 260 men and women. We were asked to create a new mechanical system to improve ventilation and indoor air quality.

The previous system had air conditioning in the public spaces, with little natural air flow. We updated the building to get fresh air and be up to date with current ventilation codes. The building’s humidity was not controlled, with moisture causing problems and discomfort to the residents. With our new systems, the building was able to heat and cool effectively, while keeping moisture at a minimum.

Research 1 – North Dakota State University

Martin Mechanical was the primary designer of the 40,000 square foot lab addition. The research laboratory is located on the campus of NDSU and provided many energy efficient sequences which include variable volume airflow in the labs, heat recovery from the fume hoods, and fan wall technology for efficiency of equipment.
