IBC Engineering has worked with the University of Rochester since its inception in 1996.  Some of the principals in the firm have worked at the facilities since 1992.  We have completed a wide variety of Laboratory projects throughout the campus.  These projects include:

 

River Campus

Design of a new Wet Lab for the Organic Chemistry Laboratory which included “state-of-the-art” controls for eight (8) variable volume fume hoods, fume hood exhaust manifold and associated variable volume supply air system.  Plumbing and electrical services were provided at lab benches and fume hoods.  Separate darkroom space was provided to support the work performed in this space.

 

Hutchinson Hall

Designed modifications to the NMR and Mass Spectrometer Research Space, the Laminar Flow Hood Laboratory, the Monolayer Laboratory, the Confocal Microscope Room, the Plasma Mass Spectrometer Laboratory and the Laser Lab Room #220.

 

Annex B110

Mechanical and electrical design to renovate Rooms 1-B102, 1-B106, 1-B108 and 1-B110 on the ground floor of the Medical Center Annex Building.   The space is to be renovated to accommodate Laboratory research, including an MRI Suite and offices.

 

Annex Labs

Mechanical and electrical designs for a Wet Laboratory on the 2nd floor of the Medical Center Annex Building.  The space is to be renovated to accommodate Laboratory Research projects.

 

Sleep Lab

Mechanical and electrical design to renovate Rooms B-9230, B-9234, B-9238 and the adjacent B-9200 corridor within the Psychiatry Wing.  The space is to be renovated to accommodate the Sleep Disorders Laboratory.


Omega Research Project

HVAC and electrical design of the Omega Research Project, the world’s most powerful ultraviolet laser.  The Omega fills an area the size of a football field, which is a class 1000 clean room and it is already playing a vital role in the National Inertial Confinement Fusion Program.   There were also various space designed within the facility to support a project that required Class 100 and Class 10 Clean Rooms, distilled water instrument and glycol amplifier cooling loops. Replacement of a 250 ton water cooler chiller and design of “deep-space” vacuum system.

 

Laboratory for Laser Energetics

Schematic HVAC design for an 100,000 square foot addition to the existing Laser Laboratory on the South Campus of the University of Rochester.  The building houses laboratory, office and conference spaces for laser and electronic imaging research personnel.  Systems include three (3) 60,000 cfm high pressure custom air handling units, three (3) 356 ton rotary screw chillers, two (2) gas-fired hot water boilers and a steam boiler for humidification purposes.  Several Class 10,000 and Class 1,000 clean spaces are also served by the HVAC system.
