Eugene D. Schermer Instructional Building

By

Challenge

Help with building designs of more than 70,000 sf and targeting USGBC LEED Gold certification, the new Eugene D. Schermer Building at Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, Washington features laboratories, art studios, classrooms, meeting spaces, and computer labs.

Solution

This project utilized chilled beam technology to meet USGBC LEED Gold while maintaining ASHRAE Standard 55 thermal comfort. Labs with 20+ ACH (Air Changes per Hour) were designed with swirl diffusers that aided in meeting ASHRAE Standard 55 and low noise in teaching labs.

Dr. Ridgeway at OHMC

Challenge

Incorporate LED lighting while meeting critical area coverage as defined by ASHRAE Standard 170 Ventilation of Health Care Facilities. Additionally was the challenge of supplying 20+ACH, how route the air, support the system, while reducing interstial conjestion.

Solution

ACI’s engineering team worked with the consulting engineer and mechanical contractor to utilize Price Industries Ultrasuite that incorporates both the lighting and diffuser array. The system exceeded the lumens/FC that was required over the operating room table and additionally met all the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 170. The project also benefitted from the Ultrasuite’s plenum design, having only one supply duct connection, freeing up interstial space, and easy structral mounting. From the installing contractor, “The system was much quicker to install than a traditional OR HVAC system. Use of this package also reduced our labor size in a smaller OR room and delivered a beautiful product for the doctors in the suite.”

Challenge

Kalama School District wanted sound levels to meet the Washington State NC-35 requirement for their elementary, middle, and high schools.

Solution

Kalama elementary school specifically designed their building to be flexible, adaptable, and future proof while breaking down scale to make it less intimidating and welcoming to their young students. The school exceeded expectations when it comes to comfort ad innovation. ACI recommended FFCHG & Sound attenuators to meet these requirements.

Challenge

ACI was presented with the task of installing high capacity fan powered boxes with a sensible coil and low NC rating.

Solution

ACI recommended FDC-DOAS from Price Industries. The enhancement of Portland is a big priority especially doing it sustainably and responsibly. This is in part shown by the 7 floors being used for 4 different institutions, this allows them to come together, collaborate, and share workplace resources within one space.
