The building combined academic research expectations with the schedule pressure and coordination complexity of a true design-build delivery. Heffron carried the full mechanical and plumbing scope, from central plant infrastructure through the overhead systems that feed laboratory spaces across the building.

The work included three new chillers, two boilers, and three rooftop units, all tied into laboratory-grade air, exhaust, and process distribution. The installed systems show exactly what this kind of project requires: dense overhead routing, clean mechanical organization, and crews that can execute with precision while the building moves from structure to finished research environment.

With the new project photography now in place, the page can start functioning the way you asked — as a live case-study shell you can keep feeding with more details, photos, and final copy as we build out the rest of the portfolio.
