Newberry Co-Housing consists of 20 single family multi-level condo units, one Common House building, and a series of Garage/Car Port units on a one-acre parcel in the City of Grand Rapids. The typical units are 2-1/2 floors with a full basement. They are standard wood framed construction and are grouped together in two, three or four unit buildings. Provided mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering and design.
This project consisted of a full residential housing development from the schematic phase through construction. The Civil design included parking facilities, private sanitary sewer, domestic water and fire service laterals, stormwater management system including below pavement detention/infiltration storage and design of the public cul-de-sac. The design included modifications to the public road cul-de-sac and public utilities.
Site development included vacating an existing alley and public utilities. This site was extremely compact and providing proper access to all units, drainage, stormwater management and parking was very challenging.
Design renovation of a historical train station building for the Lansing Board of Water and Light. The building is 9,500 square feet.
Structural engineering included structural repairs to the deteriorated timber framing and roof decking. The design also included replacement of the entire deteriorated floor structure with an engineered lumber system of LVL beams and I-Joists. The design also included accommodating all new mechanical and electrical equipment incorporated into the project.
Mechanical engineering for the building included HVAC design of a split furnace system with energy recovery units for optimization of energy usage. The design also included plumbing design of domestic water, roof storm water, gas piping, sanitary sewer and fire protection systems.
Electrical engineering included site lighting design and interior power distribution including power service design to the site along with coordination with the utility. Engineering also included interior lighting design including branch circuiting and switching, interior telephone and data processing system provisions. The design also included building technology system and coordination with owner’s audio video consultant.
Phase 1, new shore power for 23 slips on the east pier with new Eaton “Lighthouse” pedestals according to DNR requirements with 30 and 50 amp receptacles.
Also included was power for the existing fuel building and new sign lighting at the pier end.
Pedestals have LED lighting and wireless electric metering.
Feeders serving the pedestals are protected with a “Marina Guard” GFI sensing system to reduce the possibility of electrocution.
Also, included was the design of a new community toilet building on the site with daylight harvesting, occupancy sensor lighting controls and a security system that automatically locks the building down at night.
The project consists of renovation of an existing 300,000 square foot distribution center warehouse into an office building which includes an 80,000 square foot Second Floor addition. The project was a “fast track” design with six bid packages to speed up the construction process. The Meijer office building provides flexibility and interactivity programmed for an approximate 80% open office plan, demountable partition systems furniture and raised access floors throughout the entire facility.
Mechanical Engineering includes new under-floor air displacement HVAC system, separate boiler chiller plant facility. The design included new domestic water, storm water, sanitary sewer, gas piping, plumbing & HVAC systems for a new office building to include a full commercial kitchen operation.
