We are excited to celebrate the completion of a tenant improvement for a global digital entertainment leader. We delivered full design-build mechanical and plumbing services for their 46,000 SF office in a stunning new mass timber building, working closely with the construction team. This project underscores our dedication to collaboration, excellence, and quality. 

Revolutionizing Gaming Spaces 

From the very beginning, our team was excited by the opportunity to work on such a high-profile and innovative project. The mass timber construction presented us with both challenges and opportunities, requiring creative solutions that would not only meet the client's stringent requirements but also set new standards in the industry. 

Seamless Integration with Mass Timber 

The integration of our systems into the mass timber structure required meticulous planning and innovative thinking. We developed custom mounting solutions and routing paths that preserved the building's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. This attention to detail ensured that the mechanical and plumbing systems blended into the environment, enhancing the overall design rather than detracting from it. 

Advanced VRF System for Optimal Comfort 

A key objective for the building was providing efficient heating and cooling that would not disrupt the building’s acoustics, a major objective for the owner and crucial to the work done in the spaces. Our team conducted research and testing to identify the best Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system for the building to ensure optimal performance and minimal noise. For this global leader in digital interactive entertainment, our VRF solution provides a comfortable and quiet environment that enhances their ability to create games and experiences. 

High-Performance Server Room Solutions 

Recognizing the critical need for reliable infrastructure in the gaming industry, we implemented advanced cooling and backup power solutions for the server rooms. These systems are essential for maintaining uninterrupted operations and ensuring the highest level of performance for gaming platforms. Our collaborative approach with the owner and general contractor resulted in seamless integration, providing robust and dependable solutions. 

Commitment to Safety and Excellence 

Safety is paramount on all our projects, and this one was no exception. Our dedication to maintaining a secure work environment was recognized with Turner Construction’s Special Projects Group Safety Award. This accolade underscores our “Pride-based Safety” commitment to excellence and our ability to deliver projects that meet the highest standards of safety and quality. 

Impact on the Gaming Industry 

This project is more than just a success story; it is a demonstration of our ability to push the boundaries of what's possible in mechanical and plumbing construction. By leveraging innovative solutions and maintaining a relentless focus on quality, we have helped to create a building that not only supports but elevates the operations of a premier gaming company. We are excited to continue building partnerships with other leading companies in the tech industry, driving forward with our expertise and passion for innovation. 

Join us on this journey of excellence and innovation. Let's redefine what's possible, together.
