Georgia Technical College System to Upgrade HVAC Systems

ATLANTA — The Technical College System of Georgia hired Parrish Construction Group to manage building renovations on its Atlanta Technical College campus.

Based in Perry and Alpharetta, Ga., the construction firm specializes in building academic facilities throughout the state.

The college system hired the design-build team of Parrish Construction and NBP Engineers to renovate existing HVAC systems in three buildings that had problems with temperature and humidity control, according to a statement from the company.

The existing facilities comprise about 320,000 square feet of instructional, classroom, vocational lab and office space and have HVAC systems that have been altered over time to respond to the changing needs of the educational programs, the statement said.

The HVAC renovations provided by the construction group will deliver a system designed and constructed to operate under a wide range of weather, occupancy and building use conditions to provide the optimum learning and teaching environment.

“This project comes at a great time, considering the job market crisis in America,” said David Cyr, president and founder of the construction firm. “This HVAC renovation project is in the range of $4 million, with soft costs to be determined.”

Cyr said the HVAC renovations would meet the growing needs of incoming students.

“We know that on campuses especially, it is critical to renovate facilities while classes continue to operate safely and we’re glad to take that responsibility,” he said.
