Building Project Summary

Rose Hulman envisioned a new academic building on campus that would provide collaborative workspaces, design studios, flexible classrooms, chemistry laboratories, and faculty innovation spaces. The 3-story building includes student project space and shop/maker spaces on level one, classrooms and interdisciplinary labs on level two, and replacement chemistry labs for both research and teaching on level three.

R.E. Dimond and Associates was challenged with maintaining energy efficiency through the Window into Rose glass building, while utilizing 100% outside air to accommodate the exhaust hoods in the chemistry and biochemistry labs.

Creative MEP design included tapping into and upsizing an adjacent multi-building chiller plant, tapping into an adjacent boiler plant, upgrading multiple building water softening systems, and addition of life safety generators, and communication infrastructure. The building is under review as Indiana’s first WELL AP certified design and includes all ergonomic, technology, and operational protocols that provide that distinction. As a result of detailed engineering, R.E. Dimond was also able to secure utility rebates for Rose Hulman.

Size 35,00o sf renovation and 5,000 sf addition

Construction Completion Winter 2020

Construction Cost $14,000,000

Building Project Summary:

Design: As the final component of Sycamore Towers renovation, the connecting 35,000 SF Dining Room renovation completes the project and expands the project by 5,000 SF for more efficient
operation that serves over 1000 students.

Challenge: Updating dining hall HVAC with demand controlled ventilation and connection to the campus central chilled water plant.

Solution: Five single zone large HVAC variable units provide air for dining hall and 3D modeling indicated how a precast T band roof system would accommodate the piping and improve the thermal envelope.

Electrical and Technology design included voice, data, security, A/V, fire alarm, interior and exterior lighting and power. Domestic water was reworked and existing sprinkler system was extended into the renovated kitchen.

Building Project Summary:

R.E. Dimond and Associates provided MEP design services for the renovation of the 1940’s Indiana State University Fine Arts building which included replacement of critical mechanical and electrical systems that had become obsolete.

Challenges included maintaining the historical facade of the building while updating MEP systems and improving building egress and accessibility.

Solutions included a custom-designed air handling unit that was built in place to accommodate the tight space and historic fabric of the building. The system also includes VAV system zoning, LED Lighting and occupancy controls, a DDC control system, and a  fire sprinkler with a diesel generator fire pump.

Telecommunication design included IT/AV and Communications.

Construction Completion
2018

Building Project Summary: 

R.E. Dimond and Associates provided  MEP design services for multiple renovations at Knobview Hall and Ogle Center on the Indiana University Southeast campus in New Albany, Indiana.

New HVAC system design consolidated boiler plans from Ogle to Knobview and domestic water from Knobview to Ogle.

Design focused on ease of maintenance, serviceability, redundancy, and energy efficiency. Replacement of the existing modular boilers included a re-pipe of the mechanical room, replacement of existing boilers stack with venting designed for condensing boiler operation, and addition of combustion intake vent, concrete pad placement, boiler condensate drain, heating water pumps, and control system to control the boilers.

R.E. Dimond also provided library renovation as well as a phased three-stack restroom renovation with sensor-operated faucets.

Cost  $2.2 million

Size 13,800 SF Addition

Construction Completion
Fall,  2018

Building Project Summary: 

Rose Hulman Institute of Technology had a vision to renovate the pre-existing  Innovation Center as well as design a  new lab building to serve as a metaphorical “bridge” between curricular and co-curricular activities on campus.

Challenges included moving the functions of an old lab as well as accommodating existing and new heating and air conditioning priorities with soon to be updated central chilled water plant and boilers.

The University chose R.E. Dimond and Associates to design a system to accommodate for future transitions, provide MEP design for The Bridge/Kremer Innovation Center, and renovation of the BIC building.

The mechanical design supports infrastructure necessary for a fluids laboratory, wind tunnel testing equipment, and an Engine Dynamometer Lab with engine cells for gas and diesel engines and cooling and air circulation exhaust systems. MEP design included re-routing of chilled/hot water lines, as well as the use of fan coils and energy recovery ventilation units. Power, lighting, electrical, fire alarm systems, plumbing, and IT were connected to campus systems.
