The GoggleWorks, a center for
the arts, was conceived as the art focal point for Berks
County, Pennsylvania. Housed in a renovated post World
War II factory building, it was previously home to Wilson
Safety Products. The center contains multiple gallery
spaces, studio spaces, a wood shop, theatre, dance studios,
ceramics studio and a glass blowing facility. |
|
Consolidated Engineers designed the HVAC,
plumbing, fire protection, lighting and security systems for this
building. A high efficient heat pump system with dehumidification
cycles was used to maintain comfort and proper temperature and humidity
conditions for artwork on display in the galleries. The
ventilation system was designed to achieve comfort levels in difficult
high heat areas including glass blowing and ceramics. |
