IMEG provided a vibration and acoustic report for Argonne National Laboratory’s Building 212 electron microscope labs. A study completed by an outside consultant identified the existing chiller and HVAC system serving five electron microscope labs as problematic sources of vibration and noise for the electron microscopes. The levels of vibration and noise in the labs

Theater Noise Isolation
IMEG provided acoustical engineering services for a sound isolation study for the Kenwood Theater. The plan called for converting 30,000-sf former retail space into a nine-screen movie theater complex. Background noise levels in movie screening rooms must be low enough to provide a suitable environment for their intended purpose. Noise isolation was vital to the
LEED Gold Global Communication Facility
IMEG provided design assistance and peer review for mechanical and electrical engineering design of Kohler’s new communications headquarters. The one-story building houses the 180-person corporate communications department and features an open floor plan, conference rooms, and a 30,000-sf photo/video studio. The design included a displacement ventilation system that provides unobtrusive space conditioning, as well as
University Arena Renovation
IMEG provided engineering design services for the University of Cincinnati’s renovation of the Fifth Third Arena. Energy reductions and newer technologies included in the Department of Athletics project upgraded the nearly 30-year old venue to LEED Silver. Built in 1989, the multi-purpose center is used primarily for Division I basketball and has mostly collapsible seating
