Ball State University
Teacher's College Renovation
Applied Engineering is pleased to announce that they have been awarded the MEP component of the Teacher's College Renovation Project at Ball State University under MSKTD & Associates, the Project Architect. The Teacher's College is a 131,000-square-foot facility with ten floors and a basement and is classified as a high-rise building. The mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) portion of the project consists of the complete replacement of the MEP systems and the addition of an automatic fire protection system. The construction budget for the MEP systems is $10 million. The project will be constructed in multiple phases over 24 to 30 months while the building remains occupied. The drawings for the project will be produced with Revit resulting in a BIM Model. In addition, LEED certification may be pursued. We are excited to work with MSKTD and Ball State University on this important project.

Purdue University
Elliott Hall
Sprinkler System Installation

Following the design of the upgrade to the Elliott Hall of Music fire alarm system, Applied Engineering has been retained to design the fire protection system for this historic facility. The design will start with a new incoming water service into the new fire pump.
