Loureiro was retained by the Department of Labor to design the second phase of renovations to the existing four dormitories located on the Westover Job Corps campus in Chicopee, Massachusetts. We had previously completed the phase one dorm renovation design back in 2004.
The existing dorms are 1960’s vintage barracks formerly used with the adjacent air base. The dorm construction is concrete slab on grade with brick face walls. The building construction, along with minimal interior height, make any proposed interior renovations difficult.
The phase two design scope includes fully sprinklering each building with a new fire protection service fed off from the common campus domestic water loop. The design also includes fully air conditioning each building including providing year round ventilation to all occupied spaces. A full review of the electrical services to each building to support the new HVAC systems and upgrades to all existing distribution panels within each building is also included.
The phase two scope of work also includes Construction Administration support for the construction phased out over four years.
