 Building Project Summary: 

R.E. Dimond and Associates designed the mechanical and electrical improvements to the Moench Hall boiler plant. Moench Hall is the first academic building built when the university moved to its current location east of Terre Haute in 1922.

The mechanical design includes replacing the existing steam boilers with high-efficiency gas-fired boilers. Steam distribution piping was repurposed to transport hot water for heating to Moench Hall and two adjacent buildings – Crapo Hall and Myers Hall.

The electrical design included two identical diesel generators and distribution systems accomplishing a completely redundant standby system. The redundant electrical systems serve the main telephone room in Moench Hall and the main data center in Crapo Hall, as well as the emergency lighting requirements for the buildings.

Building Project Summary: 

R.E. Dimond and Associates designed the mechanical, electrical, communications, plumbing, and fire protection systems for the re-envisioned  Student Union. In addition to being the central dining facility for over 2,200 students, the student union has meeting rooms, lounges, a bookstore, health and wellness services, and the offices of Career Services, Student Affairs, and Counseling Services.

The third-time expansion includes mechanical systems featuring high-efficiency gas-fired boilers for heating and centrifugal chillers for cooling. In addition to domestic water and sanitary systems, the plumbing design includes services to two commercial kitchens and a separate dishwashing area.

Electrical systems included LED lighting and controls for a sunshade system to decrease glare and thermal heat gain, emergency and standby power distribution, fire alarm systems, and structured cabling systems. The outside plant optical fiber cabling for the campus was relocated to accommodate the addition.

Building Project Summary:

R.E. Dimond and Associates provided MEP design services for the expansion and modernization of Indiana State University’s College of Health and Human Services, the former Arena Building, built in the 1960’s.

Challenges included improving temperature control and air quality  with complete replacement of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and technology systems in existing building, as well as new systems in the addition.

The central system required removal of the air cooled  chiller and addition of two building distribution pumps to circulate campus chilled water. The existing steam to hot water system was removed and new heat exchangers were utilized in the existing mechanical mezzanine. A new DDC control system was connected to campus control system. The building addition was provided with an energy efficient variable air volume system. Design for the existing building renovation utilized an existing AHU system with addition of a new central station air handling unit, ductwork, terminal units, diffusers and piping with zoning for new room layout.

Building Project Summary:

Electrical building design services for the new men’s residence halls were provided by R.E. Dimond and Associates. The plan included the construction of two 38-bed halls, two 16-bed lodges, and two duplex-style townhomes with 12 beds each –  offering Wabash men more choice and  different room configurations and apartment-like housing.

Building Project Summary:

R.E. Dimond and Associates provided Mechanical and Electrical  design for a major upgrade and HVAC renovation at Jordan Hall on the Indiana University Bloomington campus.

Jordan Hall is the primary teaching and research facility for the Department of Biology and contains a variety of laboratories, lecture spaces, offices and greenhouses.

The renovation covered approximately 27,000 sf on multiple floors of the southwest side of the building. These spaces are primarily laboratories and offices which are served by System 13.

System 13 is on of many exhaust and make-up air systems within the building. Design included the replacement or addition of terminal supply boxes and exhaust valves, replacement of distribution ductwork, replacement of System 13 exhaust fan, replacement of heating water distribution pumps, extension of heating water system and addition of zone temperature and pressure control for all labs and offices.

Lab renovations will allow multiple researchers to collaborate on projects in a more flexible, modern, comfortable and safe environment.

Four towers: Rhoades, Cromwell, Mills and Blumberg

Construction Completed: 

Summer, 2018

Cost:

$80,000,000

Building Project Summary:

R.E. Dimond and Associates provided MEPT design services for the  renovation of four 12-story residential halls at Indiana State University’s Sycamore Towers: Mills Hall, Blumburg Hall, Cromwell Hall and Rhoads Hall. Each of the renovated residence halls house approximately 366 beds, gathering/lounge areas, vending areas and laundry facilities.

R.E. Dimond and Associates utilized advanced building energy modeling to help the university determine the most energy efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that optimize air flow specifically for dorms. An energy recovery wheel, DDC temperature control system, variable speed room fan coils, and utility metering were also incorporated into the design.                                 

Electrical work included emergency generators, power wiring to all devices, LED lighting, fire alarms and state-of-the art technology systems. All areas are sprinklered and supported by a fire pump. Domestic water is distributed via a low pressure system for lower floors and high pressure system for upper floors.

The completed renovation of Indiana State University’s Sycamore Towers demonstrates the viability of renovating large legacy buildings on university campuses.

Mechanical System Renovation of Crestview Hall

R.E. Dimond and Associates designed the replacement of the mechanical systems at Crestview Hall, one of the original academic buildings on the Indiana University Southeast campus in New Albany, Indiana.

Upgrades to the mechanical systems included replacing the existing inefficient electric resistance heating systems with new efficient heating water equipment. This required the installation of a new heating water plant, including pumps and boilers.  Upgrades also included the replacement of the existing air handling units, chilled water pump and controls.

Plumbing upgrades included extending a new gas service for the boilers and replacing the domestic water backflow preventers.

Upgrades to the electrical systems included replacing the existing lighting with efficient LED light fixtures throughout the building and installation of a new transfer switch to provide emergency power for all life safety devices.

R.E. Dimond worked with http://www.arcdesign.com to replace the existing ceilings throughout the building, including the wood panel ceilings in entryways that have become a signature feature for buildings on the IU Southeast campus.
