L
arge educational institution con-
verted 68,200 square-feet of retail
space at the base of their newly
acquired apartment complex into a unique
new 325 seat dining hall.
The Challenge
Due to little or no lay down area on the jobsite,
it was necessary for McKenney’s to carefully
coordinate delivery of materials at the site so
that they arrived just in time to be installed.
In addition, the team installed grease duct
systems for the large capacity kitchen through
an occupied dormitory building in existing
chases, which were already crowded with
ductwork, piping and electrical systems.
The Solution
Precise pre-planning and the development of
detailed and well-coordinated shop drawings
allowed much of the piping, plumbing and
grease duct to be fabricated and assembled
in the McKenney’s shops, thus relieving
some of the site and schedule challenges.
Experienced field crews were able to accom-
modate difficult work situations and maintain
the project schedule while working around
existing occupants during construction.
The Results
McKenney’s successfully supported the
space conversion to a LEED®
gold certified
dining hall on schedule and on budget.
