Challenge
Renovating a 130-year-old historic building with low ceilings to accommodate modern laboratory requirements while ensuring precise environmental control, EMI and vibration mitigation, and maintaining the architectural integrity of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory at Harvard University.
Solution
Hallam-ICS collaborated with HGA Architects to design a fully integrated MEP system. The design met strict HVAC tolerances for the Optics Lab, incorporating movable overhead service carriers and adjacent sample prep areas, while addressing challenges of the building's age and constraints.
