BHB provided MEP engineering design for the new 24,000 SF Northpark YMCA in Fort Worth. The $4.4 million facility included a weight room, fitness and aerobics area, child care center, outdoor play pool with water features, restroom facilities, administrative offices, locker rooms, and indoor concessions.
The project design included constant volume gas rooftop units and two boilers to service 16 showers, industrial laundry equipment, and an outdoor shower. Utilities were provided to the outdoor play pool as well as utility provisions for a future indoor pool and gym. The mechanical systems for this project were designed using the REVIT MEP system.
