Project Details
WFT Engineering is currently performing Life Safety Analysis
and Fire Protection Engineering services for the construction
of a new 253,000 sf College of Liberal Arts Building, (CLA),
and a 8,000 sf expansion of the Satellite Central Utility
Building (SCUB) which will support the growing campus utility
demand at Towson University. WFT Engineering Inc is providing
engineering design services to Burt Hill as part of the project
design team. The CLA project will be designed and constructed
in two phases with Phase One housing the administrative staff,
faculty offices, and support space as well as the instructional
space for the Departments of English, History, Modern Languages,
and Philosophy. In addition, Phase One will house a portion
of the central support space for the college. Phase Two will
house the administrative staff, faculty offices, and support
space as well as instructional space for 7 different departments.
The SCUB expansion consists of adding additional electrical
switch gear, hydronic chillers for expansion of the chilled
water supply system for HVAC use, and additional emergency
generator capacity for campus use.
