Office Tenant Improvement​

Leveraging MVN’s expertise in performance-driven design, this 20,000 SF office tenant improvement project was delivered with mechanical and electrical systems that enhance workplace comfort, efficiency, and long-term reliability. The result is a modern office environment that supports collaborative work, acoustic privacy, and energy-conscious performance across all spaces.

Mechanical Design

A VRF system was implemented to provide flexible, efficient heating and cooling throughout the office. Existing outside air provisions from the shell space were utilized, ensuring proper ventilation without major disruption to the base building systems. Special consideration was given to acoustic performance, with treatments integrated to minimize noise transfer and create a comfortable environment for focused work and meetings.

Electrical Design

The electrical design reused existing power infrastructure while introducing a new sub-panel to support tenant needs. New lighting systems were installed, supported by photometric analysis to ensure balanced illumination and code compliance. Controls were integrated for energy efficiency, while outlets and circuits were coordinated to serve office technologies, HVAC equipment, and collaborative spaces

The mechanical systems were tailored to the building’s mixed‑use operations. Key design elements include:

  • First‑floor kitchen exhaust terminated with a wall‑mounted blast fan, supported by a makeup air unit located outside the building.
  • First‑floor retail space served by a fan coil unit paired with a gas‑fired furnace.
  • Second‑floor retail tenant similarly equipped with a dedicated fan coil and furnace system.
  • Each dwelling unit on upper levels provided with its own fan coil unit for independent comfort control.
  • Condensing units strategically located at grade level outside the building for efficient operation and service accessibility.

Electrical systems were designed to meet the varied needs of restaurant, retail, and residential spaces. Key highlights:

  • Existing services leveraged with new panels provided as required to support tenant improvements.
  • Kitchen areas on the first level equipped with GFI outlets for safety compliance.
  • Retail and dwelling units fitted with outlets in full compliance with code.
  • Lighting design incorporated aesthetic round fixtures, coordinated with the architect’s reflected ceiling plan (RCP).
  • Lighting ensures both functionality and visual appeal across all restaurant, retail, and residential spaces.
