GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Jun 06, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) —
Southland Industries, one of the nation’s largest mechanical
contractors, recently unveiled its new Southern California Campus,
showcasing the engineering and architectural benefits of an integrated
design process. With the opening of this new building, the company
turned its talent inward to design a cutting-edge facility that provides
its own employees the same energy efficiency and sustainability benefits
that it consistently delivers to its customers.
“Our new Southern California Campus allows us to not only better serve
customers regardless of geographic location but also to showcase the
best of Southland’s engineering and construction capabilities,” said Dr.
Ted Lynch, chief executive officer.
Southland Industries partnered with LPA, Inc., to completely remodel the
42,000 square foot building in Garden Grove, Calif., and incorporate a
design that facilitates collaboration, productivity and innovation. The
building features four different HVAC systems. Among these is a heat
pump from the previous building, which was left in place to demonstrate
the energy efficiency benefits that can be achieved with integrating
existing HVAC systems with modern systems. The three new systems include
displacement ventilation, fan-powered induction units and chilled beams,
all of which allow for an open and well-lit space for design teams and
detailers to collaborate.
A state-of-the-art controls system enables Southland to monitor
real-time gas, electric, lighting and HVAC usage, contributing to an
expected LEED Gold certification.
The new building is adjacent to the company’s existing 92,000 square
foot fabrication facility, which will continue to house its fabrication
shops as well as a newly remodeled space for corporate training,
immersive BIM coordination and “big room” teaming.
