Prime Architects provided architectural and engineering services to replace main air handling unit (AHU) Overton Brooks Veterans Affairs Medical Center. First, we created detailed construction drawings and specifications to replace the existing AHU and all associated components. This comprehensive plan ensured that the new system would meet the hospital’s needs efficiently and effectively.

One of the main challenges of replacing an air handling unit was maintaining the Overton Brooks VAMC’s kitchen operations during construction. To address this, we installed temporary HVAC systems before and throughout the replacement process. This approach allowed us to keep the kitchen operational, ensuring that the hospital’s services were not disrupted.

Moreover, our contract included complete design services and Construction Period Services (CPS) to replace the main air handling unit. This ensured continuous support and oversight during the project, allowing us to address any issues promptly and maintain the project’s timeline. We also coordinated the inclusion of all associated components, such as electrical, ductwork, piping, valves, alarms, dampers, and controls.

Throughout the project, we conducted thorough site visits, field investigations, and user interviews to understand the site’s needs and the client’s requirements. This proactive approach enabled us to tailor our solutions to meet the specific demands of the hospital environment.

In conclusion, the successful completion of this project highlights Prime Architects’ expertise in managing complex architectural and engineering systems for healthcare facilities. Our commitment to delivering high-quality solutions on time and within budget is evident in the final outcome. The new AHU system not only meets the functional needs of the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center but also adheres to the stringent standards required for such projects.
