Projects

Commercial Design

Johnny’s Tavern West

Hughes Consulting Engineering and Paul Werner Architects worked together to provide MEP/life safety permit and construction documents for the 2019 expansion and remodel.

 

Lawrence Airport Hangar

The 22,000 square foot hangar space is provided with 6-zones of radiant in-slab heating throughout with ventilation tied to area exhaust fans.  The project also featured 300 square feet of snowmelt for the hangar apron, and several offices and a lounge area.

 

McLain’s Market Lawrence

Working alongside Treanor HL of Lawrence, HCE  developed the permit and construction drawings for the remodel of the University of Kansas Jayhawk Bookstore for the construction of McLain’s Market and bakery.  A low existing ceiling in the bakery and kitchen area proved to be a challenge with the hoods, makeup air systems, and exhaust ductwork required.  Using creativity and use of 3D modeling, a successful design was provided.  photo credit: The Kansan
