IMEG’s San Francisco structural team (formerly Nishkian Menninger) provided structural design services for the seismic rehabilitation of a two-story, reinforced concrete structure. Included was the installation of new concrete shear walls and the addition of a new second floor. In addition, the Auditorium was converted into two floors of laboratory space. The total area for
The Arrillaga Science Center (ASC) is a new lab/office building that will house modern laboratory space to accommodate simulation, theory and modeling, synthetic and charac- terization capabilities, and collaboration space for both internal and external scientists. The project funding is a split between a donor/developer, Stanford University, and the Department of Energy (DoE). The donor/
IMEG provided engineering design and services for Fermilab’s new Short Baseline Neutrino Near Detector Building in Batavia, IL. The Detector building includes a liquid argon neutrino detector to support Fermilab’s neutrino research. Extensive coordination was provided to allow the detectors to be installed in the facility after the building was built. Engineers provided MEP, fire
The Far Detector Building is home to one of three particle detectors used in Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program. The particle detector, and associated computer racks and equipment, are located on the building’s lowest level approximately 36 feet below grade. The facility’s main level has skylights, high ceilings, an indoor loading dock, and an overhead bridge
IMEG provided structural and security engineering design services for a next-generation biological and agricultural defense facility, the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), which replaced the aging research facility at Plum Island. The project consists of the following laboratory facilities and outbuildings: 504,000-sf main research building 13,000-sf cGMP research lab 1,000-sf entry guard house 22,000-sf
IMEG provided structural engineering services for the single-story, sustainable science classroom built in conjunction with Devcon Architecture on the Walden West campus of Santa Clara County Office of Education. As a part of the Walden West campus – which strives to immerse students in the world of science and the environment – the new 3,600
IMEG, with supporting sub-contractors, was retained as the Commissioning Authority for Bayer’s (formerly Monsanto) new technology lab and administration building, providing the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety systems, building envelope and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) review. The project received LEED Gold certification per the guidelines in LEED 2009. Services covered design, construction, and occupancy
IMEG provided engineering services for the infrastructure improvements at the Mid-Continent Ecology Division Laboratory in Duluth, Minn. The facility includes biology and chemistry labs, culture unit, controlled environment rooms, vivarium, and a radio-isotope lab. The vivarium and culture unit space consists of numerous labs dedicated to various types of fish and other aquatic animals found
IMEG provided engineering design services for the new Vermeer Applied Technology Hub at Iowa State University’s Research Park. The new building houses offices, shop spaces, laboratories, collaborative meeting space, and an equipment bay for industrial and agricultural equipment that the company manufactures. The facility provides opportunities for full-time students at Iowa State to have close-to-campus,
IMEG provided engineering design of all non-radiological facilities, including all central systems, for the new Materials Design Laboratory (MDL), the first building visitors will encounter at the Argonne National Laboratory site. The MDL is a current, state-of-the-art laboratory/office facility, enabling Argonne to maintain a leadership position in energy science research. The MDL was designed to
