Lights of Liberty - Liberty 360 in the PECO Theater
Philadelphia, PALincoln Financial Field
Philadelphia, PAEast Stroudsburg University, PA
The Liberty 360 show in the PECO Theater is Philadelphia’s first high definition, 3D, 360° attraction which currently depicts the history of the City of Philadelphia. The theater opened in the fall of 2010 and consists of a three foot high platform in a 50 foot diameter space enclosed by an 8’ high screen having the capacity to entertain up to 60 guests at a time. Wick Fisher White provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and structural design services to support the design team’s vision of this high-tech tourist attraction. In addition to the theater itself, the design included retail space, the box office and information desks, restrooms, and an audiovisual area housing critical 24/7 computer equipment. WFW also provided aid to the contractor in the design of several major design build elements including the design of the screen/drum enclosure and the structural support of the main AV equipment ring above the theater.
The HVAC systems that support the stadium's state-of-the-art amenities and services are critical to creating and sustaining a relaxing and enjoyable environment for the fans. That's why the Philadelphia Eagles contracted Wick Fisher White to provide commissioning services for the stadium's newly installed heating and closed circuit cooling systems. As commissioning agent, WFW was responsible for ensuring that the equipment and systems perform as intended.
Our scope of services included:
-Creation of testing and commissioning plan
-Review and approval of contractors' equipment and system startup procedures
-Creation of pre-functional and functional performance test requirements
-Functional performance testing
-Commissioning action list (issues to be addressed by design and construction team
-Verification of contractor closeout requirements (training, warrantees, O&M manuals, record drawings, etc.)
WFW promotes "building systems commissioning" as a quality assurance process. Resolving issues during the commissioning process will prevent problems from arising down the road.
Wick Fisher White provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering services for the design of two new student housing buildings at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. The new buildings will be mixed use occupancy containing student housing and services on upper floors of both buildings and campus police services and a recreation center in the basements of the respective buildings. The new buildings will total approximately 330,000 square feet and offer housing to just under 1000 students.
Wick Fisher White’s design accommodates the various needs of the buildings by implementing systems and components that allow the mission critical needs of a police station and the transient needs of a recreation center to operate seamlessly with the student residence areas. Design highlights include a geothermal heat pump system served by a well field at each building, as well as modifications to the campus electrical infrastructure to accommodate a substantial increase in campus loads.
The project is part of a design/build collaboration with P. Agnes, Inc. Construction for the project is scheduled for completion in January 2012. The buildings are on track for LEED silver certifications.
