Institutional Facilities
Institutional facilities include libraries, museums, judicial, municipal, detention and correctional buildings. These types of facilities present specific design challenges because they are high-use / high-traffic facilities. Each type of building has unique requirements respective of their functions. Security and restricted access to maintenance and control systems are some of the typical design elements that need to be considered, as well as the comfort factors.
DEDC has provided engineering and design services for institutional facilities for over 40 years.
When required, our designs incorporate components such as vandal resistant fixtures, institutional sprinkler heads, mechanical system located in secure locations, communication systems, card reader access and alarm systems.
Additionally, DEDC is experienced in providing systems that are specific to library and museum environments. While people comfort is important in these facilities, the primary occupants of these facilities are the art and books. Items that are important for the preservation of the material occupants include air quality, specialized lighting and humidity control. Our skilled and experienced professionals focus on developing a clear understanding of our client’s needs and consult to provide the recommendations and solutions to meet their expectations. We view each project as an opportunity to exemplify our dedication to exceptional performance, designing and engineering the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for new construction, renovations, and expansion projects.
