Project Details

Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) Harrison Policy Clinic
WFT Engineering provided mechanical, electrical, and fire protection engineering design for the renovation of a library reading and stack storage area into the Harrison Policy Clinic at the Georgetown University Law Center (GULC). The first floor space was remodeled to provide for seven additional staff offices, two meeting spaces and conference rooms, two student work spaces as well as continued library access. Engineering included mechanical HVAC upgrades to satisfy the remodeled space needs consistent with the existing facility systems, new lighting, power, communications, and fire alarm integration, along with a revised fire protection design to comply with existing code and client requirements.

Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) E. B. Williams Law Library
WFT Engineering provided mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection design services for the first floor renovation of the E. B. Williams Law Library at the Georgetown University Law Center (GULC). The first floor was remodeled to provide improved service space for the Law Review publications provided by GULC. Engineering inspection and testing services were also supplied to determine the cause of leaks in the fire sprinkler, supply piping and proposed remediation recommendations.

WFT Engineering also provided the engineered redesign of the domestic hot water mixing valve for the Gewirz Student Center.

Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) Dean of Students Office Suite
WFT Engineering provided mechanical, electrical, and fire protection engineering design for the renovation of an existing classroom area into the Dean of Students office suite at the Georgetown University Law Center (GULC). The second floor space was remodeled to provide for three additional staff offices, a meeting space/conference room, and a receptionist/administrative space as well as continued library access. Engineering included mechanical HVAC upgrades to satisfy the remodeled space needs consistent with the existing facility systems, new lighting, power, communications, and fire alarm integration, along with a revised fire protection design to comply with existing code and client requirements.

Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) Gerwirz Student Housing Center
WFT Engineering provided an engineered plumbing redesign of the hot water distribution system for the Gerwirz Student Housing Center at the Georgetown University Law Center (GULC). The domestic hot water distribution system for the Gerwirz Student Housing Center was experiencing declining capacity and frequent down times which rendered the system unreliable and unusable for the 210 room residency complex. After a review and analysis of the system, it was recommended that the domestic hot water mixing valve be upgraded to a high capacity manifold system and that a complete redesign of the hot water generating and distribution system was not required. This engineered solution saved the university a significant expense of having to completely upgrade the domestic hot water system for the facility.
