The Imperial Centre complex needed electrical upgrades. This included areas where additional receptacle circuits are needed and areas where lighting needs to be modified (additional controls, dimming capabilities, and ambiance or scene upgrades). The scope of electrical work would need to be divided between engineering support, City of Rocky Mount (CoRM) electrical personnel, outside contractors, and specific design expertise as defined later in this report.
MEP engineering for this cultural and educational complex featuring six art galleries, the Cummins Planetarium, a children’s museum, an animal habitat center, and a 500-seat performing arts theater.
The new arts and sciences campus is designed with systems focused on efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. High-efficiency gas-fired condensing boilers generate space heating, while air-cooled chillers provide cooling. The design also incorporates energy- and water-saving strategies such as variable-speed pumping and energy recovery from exhaust air streams.
