Project Details

Georgetown University needed 5,000 sf of temporary teaching and office space for the Graduate School of Business during the anticipated five year construction period of its new building. The University tasked Whiting-Turner to fast-track design build the facility on the ground floor of an existing residential hall. Whiting-Turner turned to WFT Engineering with the challenge to quickly design the HVAC systems without benefit of architectural plans and to assist in the procurement of equipment. WFT Engineering accepted the challenge, field surveyed the building, created architectural backgrounds, designed the chilled water air handling systems, and worked closely with the equipment supplier to approve submittal data and quick-ship the air handlers. All of the WFT Engineering work was completed within one week of the first telephone call.
