In response to growing demand for space dedicated to the sciences, Valparaiso University wanted to create a “STEM Village” that would provide lab and research space for students and faculty. The New Center for the Sciences does just that, and is the first new science building completed in the village. IMEG provided structural, mechanical, electrical,
IMEG provided engineering services for the conversion of a pre-pi-lot processing research facility into the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory (IBRL) at the University of Illinois. The IBRL is a state-of-the art pilot-scale facility used by faculty and researchers to improve efficiencies, reduce water usage, and increase biofuel production in the corn ethanol industry. Researchers are
IMEG provided MEP, fire protection, and technology engineering design services for the new Maine Veterans’ Home in Augusta, ME. The new, 200,000-square-foot facility replaced an outdated nursing home. The 138-bed facility provides a community within its four buildings, three of which will house 10, 12, and 15-bed units designed from a “small home” model. Each
IMEG provided structural, MEP, fire protection, technology and security design, and construction administration services for the Forest Park Middle School in Franklin, WI. The new, two-story building accommodates over 1,300 students in grades 6 through 8 and houses 42 traditional classrooms along with multiple studios, a STEM center, and collaboration hubs. The middle school is
The project: The Argonne National Laboratory upgraded its Advanced Photon Source (APS) to include two new beamlines. Already one of the most productive light sources in the world, the APS is essentially a stadium-sized X-ray microscope used by scientists around the world for research in various fields, from chemistry to materials science and geology. The
IMEG provided mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and ice rink design services for the new Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing Center at the UW Madison campus. The project included demolition of the existing gymnasium/natatorium facility to create the needed space for the new center. The complex includes eight multipurpose courts, ice rink with spectator seating, natatorium, indoor
IMEG provided mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and technology engineering design services for the relocation of the Internal Medicine Clinic and the Family Care Clinic. The relocation of the clinics allowed the implementation of the collaborative care model and addresses expandability for future growth, improving patient experience, and patient/caregiver flow and access to care. The clinics were
Pursuing LEED Gold Project: A new 91,700-square-foot facility with an event center, gift shop, meeting spaces, restaurant with garden views, auditorium, and conservatory, as well as the 2,100-square-foot renovation of the historic Linnean House—the oldest continuously operated public greenhouse west of the Mississippi. Goal: Expand the facility’s ability to handle a higher visitor flow and
IMEG provided engineering design services for Judson University’s new Harm A. Weber Academic Center, home to the School of Art, Design and Architecture and the Benjamin P. Browne Library. The new building included natural ventilation, natural daylighting and photovoltaics – making it one of the “greenest” buildings in the United States. The facility uses an
IMEG provided audiovisual and acoustics design for the Living Room Theaters, part of the historic Bottleworks District of Indianapolis, a $300 million, 1,500,000-sf complex that has reimagined the former location of the largest Coca-Cola bottling plant in the world. IMEG worked with the owner and architect to create innovative AV and acoustic concepts that are
