U of U Marriott Library Phases I, II, III (2015-2018)

Harris worked to improve the quality of the University of Utah Marriott Library’s occupant comfort by providing a retrofit of variable air volume (VAV) air handling systems and controls including piping modifications to relocate water pipes from above the Rare Books Vault. To avoid disrupting students and faculty, Harris made special arrangements to work during fall break when the library had fewer users. Sections of the library were isolated to keep the occupants safe and reduce disturbances.

Since the library is home to thousands of books and many rare and antique copies, it was imperative that piping occur without exposing books to water. Harris successfully performed change-out piping carefully, safely and without any damage.
