Royal Electric was subcontracted by Otto Construction on this design-build project to construct a new approximately 48,000 GSF building, including lecture halls, classrooms, galleries, film screening rooms and administrative offices. The U-shaped building also forms a space for an outdoor amphitheater.

Royal Electric’s scope of work included designing and installing lighting & lighting controls as well as complete electrical (transformers, main switch board, distribution panelboards, central lighting inverter, conduit, wiring, outlets, infrastructure future PV system), fire alarm (wiring, devices, fire protection interface), security (devices and equipment) and A/V (audio visual infrastructure, conduit stubbed to accessible ceilings, rough-in, floor and junction boxes) systems.

The project required extensive collaboration with the general contractor and other trades during the the preplanning and design phase. We utilized our in-house of BIM detailers to design 3D models for all conduit in the underground, concrete decks, walls and overhead as well as wire routing, length and circuit distribution; along with homeruns and pull boxes feeding all electrical devices.
