Iowa State University –Richardson Court Restroom Remodels Ames,
Iowa
Multi-phased renovation of existing restrooms in historic dormitory buildings on Iowa State’s campus, including Barton, Birch, Freeman, Lyon, Roberts, and Welch.
The nearly 100-year-old buildings had not received major restroom upgrades since the 1960s. Prior to the upgrade, the restrooms did not meet current ADA requirements, were not well ventilated, did not provide code-required fixture counts, and were not a convenient or private restroom/shower option for students.
The goal of this project was to create private restroom and shower stall concepts while also stacking the restrooms on each floor (which was not the case in every building) to achieve mechanical and electrical system efficiencies. The new restroom concept and floor stacking required additional space, which was achieved by incorporating an adjacent dormitory room.
The upgrade effort consisted of removing all existing plumbing fixtures, steam heat, exhaust systems, fire sprinklers, lighting, and receptacles. All associated piping, ductwork, wiring, and conduit were removed back to the main source. Close coordination within the existing structure was required to allow new systems to be routed through existing floors.

Iowa State University –Parks Library Restroom Remodels
Ames, Iowa
The goal of this project was to modernize the restroom facilities throughout the library by providing new ADA-compliant, gender-inclusive and family-friendly single-user restrooms and new women’s and men’s multi-user restrooms. Restrooms are larger to accommodate wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, assistants, family members, or service animals.
The engineering design to accomplish this work included new plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and fire alarm systems within the restroom stacks. A new water heater and associated support was provided. The project is one phase of a larger masterplan for the library. To support the masterplan, all system design decisions needed to consider future work. The project also required a detailed construction schedule and phased drawings to allow for multi-summer construction.

HEALTHCARE PROJECT
EXPERIENCE
MercyOne Siouxland - Pharmacy Upgrade, Sioux City, IA
MercyOne in Sioux City was faced with the challenge of bringing a pharmacy constructed in 1982 into compliance with the new USP Standards 797 and 800, in order to be certified to continue to make IV’s and chemotherapy within their facility. Mercy had made minor modifications to bring their cleanrooms into compliance with the 2008 version of USP 797. However, additional requirements from the latest versions of the standards and the addition of USP 800 led to a need to remodel the cleanrooms, including the addition of a dedicated cleanroom air handling unit, pressure controls, and an environmental monitoring system. Eventually the decision was made by the hospital administration to remodel the entire pharmacy and support spaces. This remodel affected not only the pharmacy department, but four other departments in the hospital.
MercyOne Centerville - HVAC Masterplan, Centerville, IA
An HVAC master plan included review of the entire facility to develop recommendations for a multi-year HVAC system improvements.
This project involved relocating a laboratory from an unsuitable space to a medical office building. It required coordination of new and existing equipment for power, data, plumbing, cooling, and exhaust. Several dedicated exhaust ducts were added, cooling capacity was increased, and a new rooftop unit was installed for ventilation. Existing ductwork was adjusted through field measurements and 3-D modeling. Utility chases were coordinated to minimize visual impact, and floor drains were planned for current and future needs, such as automated lines. The project came in as budgeted by the Construction Manager.
Sandy Health Clinic Renovation and Addition, Sandy, OR Renovation and addition to a 6,700 SF existing retail/office space into a medical health clinic that includes exam rooms, counseling rooms, dentistry areas, labs and support spaces.

Mahaska Health - Medical Office Building Clinic Renovation
Oskaloosa, Iowa
In 2023, KCL collaborated with Mahaska Health and their healthcare consultant to renovate a section of their existing 3-story medical office building (MOB). The project aims to update clinical spaces for orthopedics, podiatry, urology, and ob-gyn, and convert adjacent storage areas into new MOB clinical space, totaling approximately 8,900 square feet.
The engineering design solution included:
• Extending the existing hot/chilled water system to accommodate new VAV style terminal air boxes and installing new local thermostats for each VAV zone.
• Installing new plumbing fixtures connecting to the building’s existing domestic and sanitary piping systems.
• Implementing new LED lighting and lighting controls, including dedicated night-light fixtures connecting to the building’s electrical branch for emergency egress lighting.
• Installing power and technology devices in new exam and procedure rooms, utilizing and extending existing electrical distribution equipment and technology IDF as necessary.
• Adding new fire alarm devices that integrate with the existing fire alarm system, and updating the existing fire suppression system as needed.

Expansion Master Plan & Facility Assessment (2023)
The master planning process started with a facility assessment of all building systems to identify code compliance, short term maintenance issues, and ability to support master plan initiatives for major renovations and building addition. Several intensive workshops were conducted involving CMAR, Architect, KCL Engineering, Mahaska Health staff, and owner’s rep to identify how to reconfigure and add onto the hospital to meet their operational goals. Project prioritization, sequencing, and funding alignment resulted in a seven-phase master plan which included department relocations, building circulation revisions, site circulation improvements, new main entrance, ED renovation and addition, and surgery expansion.
Laboratory Buildout (2023)
2,900 SF remodel of an existing space into a hospital laboratory. Electrical design included power distribution and equipment connections for both normal and critical power systems, lighting design and controls, and extending the fire alarm system into the new space. Mechanical design included extending existing hot/chilled water system to accommodate new VAV style terminal air boxes, installing new local thermostats for each VAV zone, and installing new plumbing fixtures connecting to existing domestic and sanitary piping systems.
Surgery Improvements (2024)
Conversion of existing rooms into post-operation recovery rooms and making necessary modifications to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to accommodate new programming and specialty needs.
Pharmacy HVAC Improvements (2024)
To reduce the particle count in the Ante Room, an exhaust grille was added near the door of the Ante Room to capture particles as staff enter from the Pharmacy Work Area. A humidifier was added to the air handling unit and pneumatic controls for the air handling unit were replaced with digital controls to improve temperature and humidity control in the pharmacy.
Chilled Water Plant System Enhancement (2024)
Chilled water was supplied to the medical office building by piping connected to the end of the run in the basement mechanical room. This piping was far too small to supply the basement mechanical room, so separate piping from the chilled plant was routed to the medical office building, allowing sufficient chilled water to be supplied to the medical office building air handling unit and the basement mechanical room air handling units. The secondary chilled water pumps were also replaced to match the flow rate of the primary chiller pumps.
