Superba Lumen
This 15,000 SF shell build for a restaurant is a part of a larger mixed use development. A3 Engineering delivered Mechanical, Electrical, Commercial Kitchen design and coordination, translating the program into permit-ready construction documentation. The work was executed within accelerated schedule, permitting / plan check, shell condition constraints, with focused field verification and multidisciplinary coordination to reduce RFIs and rework. A3 Engineering provided MEP design services for the kitchen and dining areas and the scope of work included a building independent HVAC system, Type 1 Cooking Exhaust and makeup air, as well as a pollution control unit to control odors from the exhaust.
