Description: GPI provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering design for FiscalNote’s new office 37,500 sq ft on the sixth floor as well as 25,000 sq ft on the seventh floor. The new office space includes an interconnecting stair between the new floors. Coordination of ductwork, relocation of existing VAV boxes and the addition of lighting, power and low voltage circuitry were closely coordinated to achieve a clean open ceiling concept throughout the two floors. The mechanical design was challenging, and the distribution required close coordination with the architect and HVAC contractor for the routing through the existing openings in the structural beams. This project was awarded a 2019 IIDA Merit Award.
