The fire alarm system was upgraded to comply with the with fire alarm codes, CFR providing the fire alarm system design drawings and fire suppression and fire alarm technical specifications.
Client: New York Ave Presbyterian Church
Location: Washington, DC
Mechanical and electrical design services for the church including air-cooled VRF system, air-cooled AHUs, and a dedicated HVAC system for the organ chamber. CFR also addressed existing exhaust issues, leaky ductwork, and controls and dampers that were notworking correctly. Power systems were modified to support the new mechanical systems. For the dedicated organ chamber system, the design ensured the requested temperature and relative humidity chamber to support the organ.

This project was for the MEP engineering design for the renovation of Wing 1 from the basement to the 7th floor of the building located at 1800 F Street in Washington, DC in preparation for the 2016 Presidential Transition Team. The project was done in two (2) phases: first a full tenant fit-out design for the Post-Elect Presidential Transition Team (PTT), second was the restoration of the space to the pre-PTT conditions for GSA re-occupancy of the space. CFR designed new mechanical systems to properly cool and ventilate the space, modified, and designed new plumbing systems, power systems, lighting, fire alarm systems, and fire protection systems. The building contained existing historic materials that needed to be protected, which was achieved by working with the GSA Regional Historic Preservation Officer.
