Overview

Home to all business and day-to-day activities for the Philadelphia 76ers organization, the 120,00 square foot practice facility houses two full-size basketball courts, training and rehabilitation space, locker rooms, conference rooms, offices, broadcast media facilities, player lounge, and support facilities.

As the design-assist subcontractor, Southland Industries delivered the HVAC system for the practice facility.

Our Approach

Working closely with Jacobs Engineering Group, Southland ensured that the final design hit the target budget. During design development, Southland proposed several cost-saving changes that resulted in a significant 15 percent reduction in HVAC costs without adversely impacting comfort conditions.

Result

Overall, Southland solved potential roof structural issues through HVAC redesign early in the design process, preventing timeline and budget impact. Additionally, we assisted with energy modeling for New Jersey's Pay-for-Performance Clean Energy Program. By building the case for changing the design development HVAC system concept, energy costs were reduced in addition to construction costs.
