Project list

Overview

The certified LEED NC 2.2 Gold building three-phase expansion project includes an outdoor lap pool, additional multipurpose/basketball courts, free weight areas, cardio areas, indoor racquetball courts, locker rooms, multi-purpose rooms and administrative spaces. This building also includes the expansion of energy-saving and exterior lighting components, and an electrical room.

Features

TLC designed the building to withstand hurricane force winds. Energy and water efficiency goals were met by expanding two new 225-ton chillers. An accessible open overhead cable tray was designed for audio/visual data transmission, telephone wiring and conduit. We designed electronic systems that include broadband cable distribution. The use of BIM allowed the design team to coordinate above-ceiling systems, minimizing delays during construction.
