Yale Science Building G119 Chamber Installation

New Haven, CT

Client: Yale University

This project involved MEP and fire protection design for the installation of new Conviron Growth Chambers within the G119 lab of Yale’s Science Building. CENTEK provided new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems to support the chambers’ carbon dioxide, pure water, and humidity requirements, along with sprinkler modifications and a new electrical panel. The design ensured reliable performance and seamless integration with existing lab infrastructure, supporting advanced research environments with precise environmental control.

Yale GML Greenhouse Refurbishment

New Haven, CT

Client: Yale University

This project’s purpose was to install a new environment control system that would maintain temperature and humidity levels based on the types of plants that were being grown and researched within the greenhouse space. Our scope of work included removing the existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fixtures, equipment, and services and replacing them with new fixtures, equipment, and services that effectively communicate with the new environmental control system. The result was an MEP system that provides hot air and humidity with exhaust capabilities to help increase or decrease the temperature and humidity within the space.
