Seymour Johnson Consolidated Support Center Executive Level Administrative Building
LEED Gold
Location:
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC
Size:
40,000 SF
Services:
Plumbing and Electrical Engineering Designs
Description:
The Consolidated Support Center Executive Level Administration Building (LEED Gold), Seymour Johnson AFB, NC is a two story, 43,000 SF Air Force office building designed for energy efficiency and an ultra-long lifespan that is projected to be certified LEED Gold. In addition to typical office spaces the building incorporates a courtroom for military court proceedings as well as the offices for the legal wing. Administrative support areas, a mass briefing room and standard office space for the legal and other user groups in the building including several converence rooms and meetings paces. Crenshaw Consulting Engineers provided the plumbing, electrical, and fire alarm engineering designs as part of a design build team with Duke Construction.
One of the more challenging features is the main two story lobby and the monumental staircase that hosts a suspended P51 Mustang Fighter Plane. The lobby has architectural and lighting elements at the first floor, second floor and ceiling levels to accentuate and compliment the plane as well as a second floor balcony for viewing the plane from above.
The building was designed with a single 277/480v services for normal building power, and a second
service dedicated to a building fire pump. A manual transfer switch for portable generator connetin is also designed to be provided for the building. Building lighting is primarily high-efficiency fluorescent 2x4 parobolic fixtures. Lighting controls were provided as necessary for LEED Gold rating, and to the satisfaction of the user groups that will be served by them. A lighting control panel for the entire the entire building is designed to be programmed and scheduled for building use hours and to automatically turn off any lights left on after hours when the building is vacant. In addition to the building-wide controls, motion sensors will be provided in areas of intermittent use to turn off lights in vacant areas during the building's hours of operation. The building was designed with a full fire alarm system with voice evacuation as well as a mass notification system. The fire pump and other sprinkler elements as well as the elevator and mechanical systems are to be monitored.
The Building was designed for ultra-efficient water usage including low-flow toilets, urinals and lavatories. Efficient and durable electric water heaters were utlized close to the points of use to minimize hot water-water delay and losses. A conventional drain and vent system was designed for long-life and low maintenance requirements. To address water pressures which would have been below that which is acceptable, a domestic water booster pump was designed to increase the pressure throughout the building system. The total construction cost for this building was $9.6 million.
