Dayton Tech Town Creative Technology Accelerator
Heapy Engineering designed the Mechanical-Electrical systems for the new 48,050 SF Creative Technology Accelerator Building (CTA) for the Tech Town Campus. The design includes a three-story shell building with the third floor having a partial floor with an open roof deck, available for use as a roof garden or other use.
The Tech Town Campus is a brownfield redevelopment 
project located on the 30 acre former General Motors site in Dayton. The Master Plan indicates that up to 16 new, creative, technology buildings may be constructed on the site totaling up to 425,000 SF. The Campus is comprised of a technology-oriented live/work/play district consisting of unique housing, a high density of technology employers, and lots of diverse leisure options.
The CTA building is used as a technology based office building. The facility includes: office, learning, group meeting and computer laboratory spaces. An emphasis was placed on accommodating wireless networking, secure networking, fiber networking and uninterruptible computing.
A DDC system will be provided to maintain building conditions and proper system operation. Control valves, damper actuators and terminal units will be electronic actuation.The DDC system will be equipped with scheduling features to permit occupied/unoccupied operation as well as morning warm up and optimum start control strategies.
The project completion was completed in 2009 with a construction cost of $5,000,000 and a Mechanical-Electrical cost of $1,800,000. This project is LEED-CS Gold Certified.
