Prominent art and design college, the School of Visual Arts, recently opened a new Film and Animation Lab on the 11th floor of their building at 136 W 21st Street. The computer lab was located in the middle of the floor, surrounded by open office space. EP Engineering was responsible for the MEP design for this renovation. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) was installed to ventilate the internal areas. The system transfers energy from the return air on the floor to temper the air entering the building, thus saving energy. The space was turned over to the end user in time for the first day of classes, due to quick turnaround of construction documents and shop drawing reviews.
Status: Built
Location: 136 W 21st Street, New York, NY 10011
