cKenney’s installed a highly-
complex HVAC system at the
Riverside EpiCenter multipurpose
venue—a facility designed to serve its mem-
bers and the community.
THE CHALLENGE
Installing a large chilled water HVAC system
to service this 107,000-square-foot facility
consisting of a gym, bowling alley, auditorium,
meeting and event center required meticulous
planning and coordination. With multiple floor
and ceiling elevations, significant duct work
distribution was necessary. The team also had
to meet very precise system performance and
theater quality noise requirements.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s used expertise in 3D systems
detailing and Building Information Modeling
(BIM) for constructability reviews and collision
checking of overhead spaces. This technology
creates virtual 3D planning models to coor­
dinate all the building systems—including
those of other trades involved. Systems were
installed in a sequenced layout to ensure
the teams met the strict architectural needs
and installation schedule requirements.
THE RESULTS
McKenney’s completed the project on time and
within budget—while exceeding the specified
system quality requirements.
