As the prime contractor, GES provided electrical engineering services for the development of a solar panel system capable of providing 500-600 kW of new power to supplement NIST's existing kW system. Specific projects include:

Laboratory Building 216: A 1200-module ground based photovoltaic array providing a system capacity of 252 kWp with first-year minimum energy output of 327 MWh, and first-year yield of 1299 kWh/kWp.

Laboratory Building 227: A 1152-module shade canopy mounted array including pre-engineered canopy structures over the existing parking areas configured to provide a system capacity of 241.92 kWp with first-year minimum energy output of 279 MWh, and first-year yield of 1154 kWh/kWp.

Administration Building 101 Roof Area: A ballasted, roof mounted 336-module array configured to provide a system capacity 70.56 kWp with first-year minimum energy output of 78.5 MWh and first-year yield of 1112 kWh/kWp.

Facility Services Building 301 Roof Area: A ballasted, roof mounted 36-module array configured to provide a system capacity of 7.56 kWp with first-year minimum energy output of 8.3 MWh and first-year yield of 1098 kWh/kWp. Work also included vehicle charging stations for the support of electric vehicle charging with instructional signage describing charging operations.

GES provided MEP & FP engineering services for the renovation and expansion of a 100,000 sf office facility to house the Democratic National Committee. The facility includes office space, multiple teleconferencing centers, a broadcast TV studio and radio room, computer/data center, kitchen and dining facilities, and a multi-level underground parking garage.

GES provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering services for a phased renovation of 6,400 sf of procedural and support spaces spread across three wings. Phase II involves renovation of two angiography labs. Phase III includes the renovation of an additional angiography lab, as well as adapting a shared services room for use as an angiography room and required support space including procedure rooms, control room, equipment room and other ancillary spaces.

Size: 158,000gsf Cost: $128million

GES in conjunction with CUH2A is providing the design of the MEP systems for the new LEED Gold Physical Sciences Complex (PSC). The PSC is a three phased project which will create a flexible state-of-the-art laboratory/office/classroom facility that will house the Department of Physics, the Department of Astronomy and the Institute for Physical Sciences and Technology (IPST).

Phase I will consist of a new facility adjacent to the existing Computer Space Science (CSS) Building and will house specialized laboratory spaces designed to meet strict criteria for vibration sensitive and electromagnetic interference control. Also included in Phase I will be standard research laboratories and faculty offices. The three departments would all be represented and be accommodated in this initial phase.

Size: 230,000sf Cost: $50 million GES provided MEP&FP engineering services for a new, five-story, 600+ bed mixed use dormitory and retail complex. The new facility features 23,000sf of retail space including food service, bookstores and shopping has become the University's largest residence hall. The building offers many contemporary amenities including a fitness center, single rooms and modern lounges. Apartments will be equipped with private bedrooms, full kitchens, a common room, and washers and dryers. The sustainable design efforts that assisted in pursuing a LEED Silver certification include recycling the majority of waste from demolition and construction, incorporating bicycle storage rooms to encourage 'green' transportation and adding a roof that mitigates heat island effect. The building also features energy efficient HVAC equipment, Energy Star rated apartment appliances, recycled textile flooring and low volatile organic compound paint.
