The University of Akron - Football Stadium Academic Development
Akron, Ohio
Scheeser Buckley Mayfield LLC provided the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and telecommunications design for the completion of approximately 40,000 sq. ft. of shelled space in the new press box building of the University of Akron Football Stadium. The space will be occupied by the Department of Sports Science and Wellness with four areas of study: Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Physical Education, and General Studies. The scheduling and phasing of the project was complex due to the fact that the stadium was being constructed (designed by a separate AE team), as the design for this project commenced. Separate bid packages for shell completion and fire suppression were prepared to ensure that the building could occupancy permits could be obtained in time for the Fall 2009 athletic schedule.

Aultman Hospital - North & West MRI Replacement
The Aultman North & West MRI Replacement involved the renovation of two existing radiology spaces to house new General Electric Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment in the Aultman North and West Medical Office Buildings. Scheeser Buckley Mayfield designed the Mechanical and Electrical systems to serve the MRI's in both buildings. In both spaces, the existing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems were reworked to accommodate the equipment, including the inclusion of magnet backup cooling via a domestic water system switchover. Both spaces involved the usual MRI system challenges: manufacturer coordination, magnetic shielding penetration, magnet cryogen venting and cooling. Also at the North Building, the existing air handling unit fans above the space were dynamically balanced with additional vibration isolation to reduce the vibration levels affecting the magnet. This was done in response to a vibration report of the site as the design began.
Altercare Assisted Living Campus
Brimfield, Ohio
Scheeser Buckley Mayfield provided mechanical, electrical and civil design services for this 122 bed Assisted Living / Nursing Home project located in a relatively undeveloped area that required extension of public utilities (natural gas, electric, sewer and water) to the site. The campus setting included multiple buildings; main nursing home building, maintenance garage, and storage building. Separate mechanical systems were designed for each building. The site work included a cut and fill plan due to extreme topography changes throughout the site and public and staff parking spaces.

Government
West Virginia Department Of Corrections Mt. Olive - New Substation
The project consists of the design of a new 34.5kV to 12.47kV electric substation outside the facilities'boundary fence to replace the facilities' trouble prone 34.5KV distribution system. Drawings and Specifications are being prepared for the installation of a new electric substation, the replacement of the facilities' padmount transformers, and the underground high voltage cable loop feeding the transformers. The substation design is the low profile type and includes voltage regulation. Heating and ventilation systems for the switchgear house are provided.
The project presents a design challenge in the area of substation grounding as the facility is on the top of a mountain in a reclaimed mine area having suspect soil conditions that can adversely affect a good grounding installation. The project presents challenges in interfacing with the facilities' standby power system as the system is old and interfaced with the distribution system in an unconventional manner. An additional design challenge is to maintain power to each of the facility buildings during the construction of the project. This will be taken care of by starting at one end of the facilities 34.5kV loop and reconnecting each padmount transformer on a one by one basis to the new 12.47kV distribution loop. A temporary generator will be connected to each building as its associated padmount transformer is replaced.
West Virginia Department of Corrections - Pruntytown New Standby Generator
The project included the design of a new 12.47KV service drop, medium voltage padmount switchgear, medium voltage transfer switch, generator padmount transformer, and a 750KW, 480V, 3 phase diesel generator set with walk-in enclosure having a belly mounted fuel tank. The system designed replaced the facilities' existing 12,47KV service with a new system that provides generator back-up power for the entire facility. The system was designed to maximize system reliability and maintainability by the use of 12,47KV circuit protective devices to permit bypassing and isolating the automatic transfer switch while providing power to the facility from utility power or from the generator. The system was designed to provide remote monitoring of the generator set and fuel supply from the facilities' security control center. The design included provisions for the connection of a portable 480V load bank for generator testing.

VA Medical Center Wade Park - Renovate Wards 31/33
Cleveland, Ohio
Performed mechanical and electrical engineering for remodeling of the entire third floor of the hospital. The new plan encompassed approximately 65 new patient beds and a gross area of approximately 44,000 square feet. Design was performed with attention to phasing with other ongoing design and construction projects in the facility with indeterminate schedules. All systems were designed with consideration for future conversion of the third floor for psychiatric patients at minimal cost to the government.
VA Medical Center Wade Park - Mental Health Addition
Cleveland, Ohio
Design of a new two story addition to the existing hospital to perform outpatient mental health services. Scope of work included new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. The new addition consisted of approximately 17,000 gross square feet of office, conference and treatment spaces. Design challenges of the project included its location directly above the facility's underground linear accelerator suite and ongoing design (by the same design team) of a sub-terrain addition for a second linear accelerator. Special system coordination was required due to code required horizontal exits, which severely limited the ability to route building services on the first floor while keeping the corridors visually pleasing.
VA Medical Center Wade Park - Renovator Wards 41/43
Cleveland, Ohio
Performed mechanical and electrical engineering for remodeling of the entire fourth floor of the hospital. The new plan encompassed approximately 70 new patient beds and a gross area of approximately 45,000 square feet. Design was performed with attention to phasing with other ongoing design and construction projects in the facility with indeterminate schedules.
