Coordinating Mechanical Upgrades in a Landmark State Capitol Building
Coordinating construction trades on historic building restorations requires additional collaboration and expertise to ensure the building’s functional goals are met while respecting the building’s history and aesthetic. Mechanical upgrades present a major challenge because they must be designed for and installed in a building that was not built to accommodate modern building systems while meeting modern building codes. Construction managers and engineers took unique approaches to mechanical systems when restoring the Wyoming Capitol Building to ensure the building is functional for the state and for the public while highlighting the building’s historic significance and grandeur.
