CFR provided MEP engineering design and construction administration services using BIM 360 DesignRevit 2019 for the new Apartment Building C Complex at the HHMI Janelia Campus in Ashburn, VA. This apartment building houses biomedical researchers and scientists from around the world and is composed of five (5) floors of (101) one- and two-bedroom apartment units; a ground floor lobby; lounge; unisex bathrooms; and open‐air parking. The ground floor also houses the mechanical equipment room, main electrical room, water and fire pump rooms. On the top floor, a common area and patio occupies ~3,000 SF. CFR has designed a 4-pipe hydronic energy recovery centralized mechanical system for the building and a centralized domestic hot water system generated from high efficiency, condensing, gas-fired water heaters. A geothermal well system was designed & installed, which acts as a heat source/sink. Electrical design included new residential and emergency power, as well as interior and exterior lighting, data and coordination with the owner’s IT, and low voltage systems.
