YKH Consulting, LLC provided tailored mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services for the development of a new, state-of-the-art, single-story, 20,000-square-foot college football operations building. This modern facility was designed to support the needs of players, coaches, and staff while serving as a showcase for the program's success and recruitment efforts. The building features a new locker room, players' lounge, a team meeting room with stadium-style seating, a fully equipped training room, an equipment room, coaches’ and staff offices, position and group meeting rooms, a catering kitchen, and a visually striking showcase lobby. YKH Consulting worked closely with the design team to create MEP systems that support the diverse functions of the facility while ensuring energy efficiency and long-term performance.
The HVAC system was designed to provide optimal comfort across a range of spaces, from the high-occupancy team meeting room to the specialized training and equipment areas. Ventilation and temperature control were prioritized in key areas like the locker room and training room to ensure player health and comfort. The electrical design included power distribution for audiovisual systems in meeting rooms, lighting that enhances the aesthetics of the showcase lobby, and infrastructure to support kitchen operations. The plumbing systems were engineered to meet the needs of high-use areas such as the locker room showers and the catering kitchen while incorporating water-saving technologies.
YKH Consulting’s expertise in integrating functional, efficient, and reliable MEP systems resulted in a dynamic and functional football operations facility tailored to the needs of the program.
