Commercial Experience
Common to all of our projects is Hunt Engineering’s interest in understanding and meeting the Owner’s goals for their project. We work closely with our clients to meet the mechanical and electrical needs of their project. Engineering systems appropriate for small light commercial projects are significantly different than those for a 250,000 square foot building. From the sample projects below you can see Hunt Engineering is well experienced in a wide array of both large and small building systems.
1411 4th Ave. Building:
Located in downtown Seattle, this 150,000 square foot, 15-story building, is a historical high rise. This Art Deco structure was fully constructed within seven months in 1928 under the direction of the Metropolitan Building Company, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Hunt Engineering provided facility assessment and MEP design services for HVAC system replacement. A key design element of this project was to minimize our impact to the historical character of the building. The project was phased to have minimal impact on the tenants and the VFR system that replaced the steam heat provided an excellent solution. Services included fully engineered drawings and design/build of VFR heat pump systems. (2016)
