South Florida Regional Transit Authority (SFRTA)
Provided MEP engineering designs for the 75,000 square feet New SFRTA Operations Center. The facility consists of a 3-story office building, including a 150 seat boardroom, a customer service and dispatch operations center, and loading and receiving areas. The new SFRTA site includes a 4-level parking garage which will house approximately 400 parking spaces and will support both the Operations Center and parking for Tri-Rail passengers. Elements of the design included an air cooled chilled water system, which provides conditioned air for the Operations Center and a 1500 KW generator which provided emergency power for the entire facility and parking garage.
The Operations Center is designed with a Fire Alarm and Fire Protection system providing full coverage for the entire facility. The garage is designed with a Fire Alarm system which provides full coverage for the entire garage and a manually wet standpipe system. Sustainable design practices used in the facility are photovoltaic panels on the garage roof which provided power for the station and the Operations Center. LED lighting is utilized throughout the entire facility and water efficient plumbing fixtures. This project is a certified LEED Gold building.
