When you have a campus of buildings full of rich history dating back to 1884, system upgrades are inevitable. Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) in Lawrence, KS, began as an agriculture education program for grades one through five.
Today, HINU continues to serve the educational needs of American Indian and Alaska Native people from across the United States, and the only government boarding school that has evolved into a four-year university for Native students.
P1 has been part of the Haskell tradition for many decades, performing both construction and service facility work.
Some of those projects include: complete HVAC renovation of the library, dormitories 108 & 109, deferred maintenance in 12 buildings, retrofitting of bathrooms and other buildings and bringing them up to desired ADA compliance, two science labs including all new gas and waste, turning a shop building into a science building with all new ductwork, plumbing , and gas, and new deferred maintenance on the gymnasium.
The project in this profile is a four-building MEP project for HINU, which includes HVAC and electrical overhaul of two dorms, the administration/IT building, and an auditorium.
The mechanical scope includes two chillers, three boilers, 12 pumps, two condensers and more than 200 fan coil units in all four buildings: Blalock Hall, Pochahontas Hall, Ross Hall and the auditorium.
The project involves a four-pipe system, a distribution system that contains both hot water supply with return lines and a chilled water supply with return lines.
The electrical team installed controls, main power, thermostat, and power to VFD (variable frequency drive) pumps and chillers.
In the Blalock building, electrical installed the main service, including the MCC (motor control center).
P1 is proud to be part of such a valuable piece of history in Lawrence, KS.
