Fine Arts Building - Sculpture Studio

New arts instruction facility includes teaching studios and associated shop areas including plaster, metal, wax, painting and wood working.

Ventilation intensive facility design includes a once-through ventilation supply system. The system is variable volume type and is equipped with heat recovery to reclaim heat from exhaust air to preheat outdoor air for ventilation.

Variable volume supply and exhaust terminals track building ventilation needs to maintain critical pressurization and allow modulating airflow to match building occupancy patterns for additional energy savings.

Local exhaust systems are provided for paint spray booths, kilns, foundry and woodworking machinery.
