Energy-efficient design features include an air-cooled VRF system for space conditioning in the elevator lobbies and back-of-house spaces. In addition, LED lighting achieves a high degree of illumination with optimum light distribution and low energy use.
The parking facility is protected with an interconnected dry standpipe system and a wet-type automatic sprinkler system for fire protection in occupied areas. All fire protection piping consists of galvanized piping for enhanced durability. The fire alarm system provides smoke detection in the elevator lobbies and monitors the sprinkler system flow and tamper switches.
With excellent illumination and efficient MEP systems, this ramp creates a safe, walkable, active environment within, adjacent to, and around the ramp.
