Hawaiian Marketplace
Las Vegas, Nevada
This new retail hub, located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, encompasses an area of 80,000 square feet. The Owners sought to create a Polynesian-themed complex that would bring some warm Hawaiian hospitality to this bustling city. Slated to open during summer 2004, this unique venue includes shopping, restaurants and entertainment that caters to locals and visitors alike.

Our team was brought onboard to design key mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems for this complex, which includes a food court, Hamada of Japan restaurant and a bird animatronics show, among its many offerings.

We provided a special power panel for concert performances at the performance balcony, and theatrical lighting and A/V devices for the bird animatronics show. Mechanical systems utilized rooftop gas-fired units, rooftop heat pump units, fan-coil units and ductless split system AC units. An exhaust fan with sound attenuator was incorporated to reduce noise levels in the garage.

Guggenheim Art Exhibition Hall/The Venetian Resort - Kunsthalle
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Guggenheim Art Exhibition Hall, located in the world-famous Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, is designed to bring a taste of fine art to the Southwest. We were brought on as a part of an integrated design team, providing mechanical systems design expertise to ensure that this exhibition hall retains a perfect temperature balance - providing both comfort for visitors as well as preserving the integrity of the artwork.

Five principal factors are considered critical to the success of this design: proper air temperature, humidity, and circulation; removal of air-borne pollutants; and ambient sound level management. We introduced ultrasonic humidifiers into the design of this facility, significantly reducing the amount of energy normally required for such units. At the same time, vaporized water generated by the humidifiers create additional cooling and lower the total air-cooling load.

A unique air distribution concept for the main exhibition hall designed by our team utilizes jet nozzles positioned on opposite walls some 42 feet above floor. At the same time, additional displacement flow diffusers will be provided at the floor level, also on opposite sides of the exhibition hall, creating a complete microclimate system around the display wall surfaces. A DDC control system is used to closely monitor air temperature, humidity and pressure throughout the space.

Las Vegas Convention Center - South Expansion
Las Vegas, Nevada
As Las Vegas continues to grow as a popular destination for national and international conventions, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) was approached by a consortium of exhibitioners, including COMDEX and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), expressing an urgent need for an additional 1,000,000 square feet of exhibition space.

Our team was brought in to design the building systems for the expansion. The two-story expansion consists of 1,000,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space; each floor consists of 500,000 sq. ft., and the upper floor is rated at 300 pounds per square inch. Also included in the design is 400,000 sq. ft. of meeting room and support space, spanning the Desert Inn Arterial.

The project was completed under an accelerated delivery process.

Ritz Carlton - MonteLago Village
Las Vegas, Nevada
Lake Las Vegas, one of the southwest's most exclusive communities, is now home to a luxurious four-star resort. The Ritz Carlton name is recognized for a world-class level of amenities, and this 350-key, eight-story hotel and casino features over 41,000 sq. ft. of meeting room spaces, a large spa facility and a 30,000 sq. ft. casino.

As the building systems engineer for the electrical portion of the project, we worked closely with the client and the contractor to understand and effectively implement the client's goals and requirements, and maintain project cost and schedule control to bring the project in on budget. We continue to be involved with the overall development of the Lake Las Vegas area, as a part of this ongoing development effort.

MonteLago Village - Condominiums and Retail
Las Vegas, Nevada
When developers of Lake Las Vegas began to plan an exclusive development of high-rise condominiums and support retail known as MonteLago Village, we were selected to design the building systems. The systems we designed included electrical distribution, emergency power, fire alarm, lighting, telephone and cable TV. The MonteLago Village project features 300,000 sq. ft. with an additional 50,000 sq. ft. in remote retail shops, which are carefully arranged in an Old Italian style setting with stone streets and Old Italian storefronts, to complement the architectural theme of the site.
