Roofing:

The roofing on the north side addition will consist of 60 MIL “White” Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) Membrane Roofing over two layers of R-35 Polyisocyanurate insulation. On the east side refrigeration dock the roofing construction will entail 60 MIL “White” EPDM Membrane Roofing over two layers of R-30 Polyisocyanurate insulation. On the west side of the building; 60 MIL “White” EPDM Membrane Roofing over one layer of R-25 Polyisocyanurate insulation above the maintenance and electrical rooms. The south side roofing will not be renovated, and the existing roofing membrane will be unchanged. (Figure 4)

Sustainability Features

HFS is not a LEED project.

Building Statistics 2

Construction

The Housing and Food Services Warehouse and Bakery Expansion is a design build project. There was extensive demolition and removal of selected portions of the building and selected site elements. The 94,000 square foot existing HFS building will undergo approximately 44,500 square feet of renovations during the three phases of construction. The warehouse will be expanded on the north side by about 25,000 square feet. This expansion will allow Penn State Housing and Food Services to increase the variety and scope of product offerings to meet the culinary needs of students, faculty, staff and visitors. This project also will provide opportunities to capitalize on additional direct manufacturer relationships that will reduce overall food costs.

The HFS Warehouse and Bakery Expansion is undergoing major MEP renovations. The new mechanical system will consist of the installation of new freezer and refrigeration units, replacing the existing units. It will also entail replacing the ducts for the roof top units, new office and lobby rooftop units, and ventilation ducts. Two of the packaged rooftop units with energy recovery wheel will supply 50,000CFM to the the freezer and refrigerator. Three air handling units and three cooled condensing units, consisting of 1700CFM and 48000CFM respectfully, will supply the air needed for the warehouse and dry storage area. The kitchen, bakery, and office area will also have area specific rooftop units.

Electrical

The main purpose of the electrical system is to provide continuous power given any situation. Consequently, a two megawatt emergency generator will be installed to provide backup power. The electrical utility service enters the building on the west side into the utility transformers. The service then travels to the switchgear MSA, 480/277V, three phase, four wire, 2000 ampere. It then travels to five distribution panels, four of which consist of 480/277V, three phase, four wire, and 800 ampere. The other distribution panel contains 208/120V, three phase, four wire, and 1200 ampere.

Lighting

The lighting plan for the HFS Warehouse and Bakery Expansion incorporates a combination of LED light fixtures. The main lighting in the cooler and freezer areas use 45 inch pendat mounted LED high bay fixtures with wide distribution optics. The occupancy sensors for the fixtures in the cooler and freezer will be rated for -40°F. The dry storage areas have the same LED fixtures as the freezer and cooler areas. The office areas will have a multitude of different recessed LED fixtures ranging from 1"x4" to 28"x4". Exterior lights are LED architectural sconces placed by the entrances/exits. The main electrical room is located on the west side of the building on the ground floor.

Mechanical

The new mechanical system will consist of the installation of new freezer and refrigeration units, replacing the existing units. It will also entail replacing the ducts for the roof top units, new office and lobby rooftop units, and ventilation ducts. Two of the packaged rooftop units with energy recovery wheel will supply 50,000CFM to the the freezer and refrigerator. Three air handling units and three cooled condensing units, consisting of 1700CFM and 48000CFM respectfully, will supply the air needed for the warehouse and dry storage area. The kitchen, bakery, and office area will also have area specific rooftop units.. The freezer needs to remain approximately -10°F at all times. The refrigerator is expected to remain about 28°F to 35°F.

Structural

The structural system for the HFS Expansion is primarily steel framing. The basic vertical structure of the warehouse addition is constructed from HSS 12x12x1/4 columns. There is also lateral bracing along the north and south sides of the warehouse. These lateral braces are L6x6x5/16 and are located between the center columns of the warehouse. On the roof, steel joists support the 1/2 metal decking above the warehouse addition. The roof deck is fastened with 5/8" diameter puddle welds in 36/4 fastener pattern at all supports and 12" on center at all members parallel to the deck span. The structural slab for the addition is 6" thick concrete system along with a vapor barrier and two inch perimeter insulation.

Fire Protection

Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) and 75 hp fire pump will be installed in the ambient storage and cooler/freezer addition. The ESFR fire pump has 6” pipe for fire service and also 4” pipes which go to the newly added fire department Siamese connection added on the north east side of the new addition.

Transportation

There are no elevators in the Housing and Food Services Warehouse and Bakery Expansion. Two sets of egress stairs are remaining the same in the existing building.

Telecommunications

The ground floor will have a telecommunications rack located in the electrical closets accessed from the main corridors. These racks will serves as a connection point for cable, internet, and telephone lines.
