CITRUS COLLEGE | MATH & SCIENCE BUI LDING

Glendora, CA

Type: Higher Education Size: 33,000 SF

This 33,000 SF, two-story building contains classrooms, science and computer laboratories, and faculty offices. The project was developed in a design/build delivery method through the Architect. The firm prepared all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Electrical systems included power, lighting, data & communications, and fire alarm systems. The building’s power is serviced by dedicated 2500 Ampere substation. The substation was designed with dual primary voltages, 4160-Volts for current infrastructure and 12-kV for future infrastructure upgrades. The substation accommodates two feeders with one primary and one back-up. They are interlocked with “Kirk-Key” features for safety. Dual level lighting was provided for the classrooms with override control panels and switching in compliance with California Title 24 regulations. The two-story entry lobby utilizes up-and-down wall wash style fixtures. Emergency lighting is provided by a battery-supplied UPS system. In addition to an integrated communications system, we also provided a complete area coverage addressable fire alarm system, consisting of smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, multi-intensity ADA strobe/horn alarms, door and smoke fire damper monitor and controls.
