Mr. Stettler was the Project Manager of an adaptive reuse project for the renovation and rehabilitation of a 38,000 SF light manufacturing building and converting it into Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology laboratories and offices. The project included the design of exterior envelope upgrades, new interior core spaces, new mechanical and electrical systems, elevator installation, and accessibility compliance. The roof of a laboratory is congested with HVAC/Exhaust equipment that requires regular maintenance. The roof design featured a membrane of reinforced EPDM to provide additional protection against puncture of the higher frequency of foot traffic. Roof penetrations increase the cost of roof installations and the areas most susceptible to leaks that may develop over time. Mr. Stettler worked closely with the laboratory exhaust hood vendor to develop a system of for securing the hood exhaust fans with their towering exhaust stacks while minimizing the number of roof penetrations and providing for roof repairs and maintenance to be more easily accomplished.
