We can’t believe the Multnomah County East County Flagship Library Project is finally complete! This gorgeous new public library, designed by Holst Architecture and constructed by Fortis Construction, focuses on community input and impact. Alliant Systems, a design-assist partner to Fortis, has led the plumbing, HVAC, and piping systems coordination and installation for the project. Special features include radiant flooring, AERMEC Air to Water Heat Pumps (AWHP), two-pipe slab recessed Jaga forced air convection units, AAON Air Handing Units (AHU), beautiful plumbing fixtures and features, hydronic piping and more.
This project was a CLT challenge and took a large BIM coordination effort from our in-house modeling team. Significant effort was taken to coordinate prefabricated pe*******on locations in the CLT decking, and it was crucial to keep our mechanical and plumbing systems hidden to let the CLT be the main feature of the space.
Shout out to our site team for their wonderful work: Chase Purtzer – Project Manager, Brian Young – Plumbing Foreman, Rykeir Smith – Fitting Foreman, Dustin Martin – Sheet Metal Foreman, and Adam Jarvis – Project Start Up.
