The Project consisted of the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection engineering services for the NYPD Police Station located at Yankee Stadium. The program spaces included office space, locker rooms, toilets, prison toilets, prison cells, utility closet, property room and mechanical spaces.
The space was designed for 24/7 operation with a self-contained HVAC system. The Police Station spaces are divided into distinct zones with each zone supplied by either ceiling suspended or sidewall mounted VRV fan coil units suitable for air re-circulation only due to the limited headroom in the space. An air-cooled DX VRV outdoor condensing unit is provided to supply the indoor fan coil units. Ventilation air is provided by a gas heat, DX cooling, 100% outside air packaged unit.
Domestic hot and cold water are provided from the base building stadium systems. Sprinklers are extended from the base building distribution system. Holding cells are provided with security type sprinkler heads.
Electrical power is provided by a dedicated service switch. A gas-fueled standby generator dedicated to the Police Station is provided to supply all the Station loads.
The plumbing, electrical, fire alarm, telecommunication and sprinklers were coordinated with the base facility services and tied into the services available.
