WHAT WE DID
B&D performed as the general contractor on the Building 965 Lab Modifications project, which consisted of modifying the overall building security system and transforming it into a high-level Vault Type Room (VTR). The project consisted of the renovation of the labs and remodeling of offices within the building. B&D provided the addition of a new entryway to serve as a lobby. The interior renovations also included new walls, acoustical ceilings, door hardware, office space electrical modifications, and the installation of a hydraulic lift with the associated structural mezzanine and concrete landing. The entire building was upgraded with interior and exterior security modifications to include security bars, new VAV terminal units/water piping, and a fire sprinkler system with a new fire alarm panel. A small portable clean room was assembled and placed, a sound-masking system was installed, and a fiber-based communication system was upgraded with a new backbone. A UPS system, parking lot lighting, and new rooftop HVAC systems were installed, and the RTUs were integrated into the site-wide environmental control network. B&D performed a complete electrical renovation of the facility, providing new electrical panels and feeder installation. Additionally, B&D installed new fire optic cables and connections.
