* United Supermarkets: http://www.unitedtexas.com/
We worked with this company to develop a prototype supermarket
which could be site adapted to other locations. We prepared the layout
drawings for the store equipment, drafted the architectural and structural
drawings, and designed the MPE work. There have been more than 20 stores
built using this approach, from 35000 sf to 64000 sf., each adapted to
the site. Elements of the new designs have been adapted to retrofit projects
in existing stores. These include departments for Bakery, Deli, Pharmacy,
Floral and others. This store
is at 82nd street and Boston Ave. in Lubbock, Texas

Sports
Texas
Tech University:
United Spirit Arena:
The new $65 million arena has a seating capacity of more than 17000
for Big 12 basketball competition, concerts, and other functions. The initial
stage of construction included the utility tunnel capable of deliverng
100 psig steam, 2000 tons of chilled water and other services. This contract
was awarded early and was completed concurrent with the excavation phase.
If the tunnel had not been completed before construction began, access
to the building site would have been severely hampered.
.
Fanning Fanning and Associates, inc. designed the fire protection and
plumbing elements of the building.

Athletic Training Facility:
The design challenge for this building was our magnificent
summer sunshine. The translucent dome allowed a high heat gain in the summer,
and presented a snow loading problem in the winter. .The ventilation system
is as unique as the structure; it is designed for a 135000 CFM automatic
fresh air vent cycle which permits comfortable sports activity on a 103
degree day in July, the condition on the day the dome was first inflated.
There are a total of 8 air handlers, any one of which can maintain inflation
pressure, and 3 of them are on an emergency generator.
.
.
Some of our other projects for the Texas Tech athletic
department include:
- Lighting for Jones Stadium,
- Lighting for Dan Law Baseball Field
- Intermural tennis courts
.
* Lubbock Municipal Coliseum:
This 10000 seat facility constructed in 1956 was never
air conditioned. This limited the practical usability to winter months.
A controversy over this project ended when the proposal to build a new
multipurpose arena was voted down. We were then able to design an air conditioning
system of 900 ton capacity for $1.16 million, well within the budget. Elements
of the design included an interface with the district heating and cooling
system of the adjacent university and negotiating the terms for purchasing
cooling effect while maintaining complete independence of systems.

Housing
Carillon in Lubbock is our most complex residential client. This photograph
shows a panoramic view of the campus taken from the 5th floor of Windsong,
the upscale apartment building. The original 4 story dormitory type building
is across the parking lot. The white building is Carillon House, a skilled
nursing facility under construction. To the right are the grade level living
units. Neil Chapel is in the center of the picture.

- Quarters
- Dormitories
- Hotels
- Residences
The first private residence we engineered was for Mr. Clarence
Scarbauer in Midland, Texas about 1957. As I recall it was a double duct
air conditioning design with 28 zones. There were 9 bath rooms on the first
floor. The trophy room was 2 story with a balcony. It is to this day very
impressive.
We designed last the MPE for the John Yates ranch residence 90
miles west of Artisia, Nm. The site was in the mountains and very remote.
The plan included an indoor pool, a whirlpool, and a constant temperature
wine vault. An oil fired steam boiler with 10,000 gallon storage was used
for heat and energy for the 25 ton absorption water chiller. The generator
/ heating / cooling plant was disguised as a gazebo.
Our private residential experience is limited to about a dozen
remarkable homes between the dates of these projects.
