Facility Description
Coquitlam is the 6th largest city in the province of British Columbia. Located just outside Vancouver while maintaining an abundance of parks and natural green spaces, it is easy to understand why the area continues to grow in popularity.
Serving more than 35,000 students and staff, the local school district required an updated administrative hub that could improve collaboration and operational efficiency. The solution was the construction of the new Educational Learning Center, designed to consolidate administrative and educational functions into a single location.
Previously, these responsibilities were spread across five different buildings throughout the district. Many of those facilities were not suited to their roles, with limitations such as inaccessible areas, inefficient workspace layouts, and inadequate parking. The new facility provides a modern environment designed to support staff collaboration and district-wide operations.
Project Description
The Educational Learning Center was designed with both functionality and user experience in mind. Architects and engineers prioritized intuitive building design alongside reliable HVAC performance to ensure comfortable working conditions throughout the facility.
To support this goal, the project incorporated Griswold Controls Coil Piping Packages. These systems arrive pre-assembled and ready to ship within 48 hours, helping reduce installation time and overall project costs.
Products Used
Coil Piping Packages
This project utilized several Griswold Controls solutions including Pressure Independent Valves, Automatic Flow Limiting Valves, and Unimizer Actuated Valves. These components work together to provide accurate flow control and dependable HVAC system performance.
The CPP-2 PIC-V configuration ensures pressure independent flow regulation, maintaining consistent performance even when system pressure conditions fluctuate.
CPP-2 IRIS packages with Automatic Flow Limiting Valves provide precise flow balancing and reliable system stability, while configurations with 3-Way Unimizer Actuated Valves allow efficient control of heating and cooling loads throughout the building.
