GCC Integrated Education Building

The new GateWay Community College (GCC) Integrated Education Building was designed to house five separate programs in uniquely recognizable structures that connect, integrate and function as one building. Built to LEED standards, the three-story building features offices for student services, counseling and advising, an indoor/outdoor art room, new library, tutoring labs, additional classrooms and a new science wing.

To cool the building, Harris brought new 14-inch chilled water lines across the campus via an underground utility tunnel that it had completed in a different phase of the project and routed the chilled water feeds to seven air handling systems that service the building.

For the building’s heating system, a new heating plant was installed that included two new boilers and primary pumping systems, and a complete Phoenix Controls exhaust system was installed in laboratory rooms on the third floor that included three laboratory exhaust fans and 26 Phoenix Controls valves.

To control and monitor the building’s lighting, exterior fans and HVAC system, a complete Johnson Controls system was installed.
