MEP/FP Upgrades Facilitate Dance Center’s Expansion
Jacob’s Pillow Dance campus began planning a series of facility and infrastructure improvements to better support its programs and visitors, and engaged our firm to design a series of campus upgrades. The work spanned campus-wide electrical distribution upgrades, renovations and an addition to the archives and museum building, fire protection enhancements, and the design of a new welcome center with centralized restrooms. GIS mapping services were also provided for electrical, water, and sewer utilities to support long-term planning and coordination.
For the electrical upgrades, our engineers designed new distribution districts, utility services to transformers and distribution equipment, and back-fed existing buildings. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical design for the archives and museum addition supported improved environmental controls, accessibility, and specialized lighting for artwork and collections. Fire protection improvements included a new pump house and a 125,000-gallon storage tank to serve the campus, strengthening infrastructure reliability and supporting continued facility operations.
