160,000 SF, San Antonio, Texas
Owner: Southwest Research Institute
Architect: Kell Munoz
Method of Delivery: CSP
Start/Complete: 11/04 - 11/06
Southwest Research Institute’s Building #238 is a 160,000
SF structure consisting of four buildings utilizing both concrete
and steel superstructures. Approximately 115,000 SF is a four
story office and laboratory building.
The multiple labs include electronics systems, robotics, electro-mechanical
and optical systems, and structural testing. These labs employ
varying types of equipment such as lasers, high powered microscopes,
seismic equipment, robotics, variable frequency electrical,
and specialty gas piping. These lab facilities have a very high
level of security that required special sound wall and door
systems as well as noise and electric isolation on MEP items. Another building houses an acoustic anechoic chamber on a lifted
spring isolation slab and a radio frequency chamber. This chamber
is one of only six (6) in the world today. There are also several
top running bridge cranes, an under-hung crane and a central
plant building for this project. |
