LiRo’s integrated service offerings for these programs include audit services, engineering design services, construction management services, and construction trade management services.

About the Project

A variety of project types fall under this contract, including upgrades to central HVAC equipment, modernization of electrical infrastructure upgrades, and improvements to the building management system (BMS).

LiRo has provided services for projects at the following institutions:

Project Challenges & Solutions

Project sequencing and phasing proved to be a challenge at locations that remained operational throughout the duration of construction. LiRo preemptively addressed the issue of phasing by creating sequencing drawings that minimize downtime. At Medgar Evers College, LiRo was tasked with replacing the boiler while continuing to meet the facility’s year-round steam requirements. To accomplish this, LiRo’s design incorporated a temporary boiler package with considerations for building egress paths and operable windows.

Outcome

Projects resulted in asset renewals and infrastructure improvements at existing institutions while lowering the overall energy footprint of NYS-owned buildings. Collaboration with LiRo’s construction managers resulted in an approach that incorporated constructability, costs, and schedule constraints into the designs.
