Bellarmine University - Sienna Dorm Complex

Location: Louisville, KY
Type: New Construction

Assumption High School - Arts & Sciences Wing Addition, Forst & Associates, Education Project

Assumption High School - Arts & Sciences Wing Addition

Location: Louisville, KY
Type: Addition

Description: The classroom addition project was the first expansion of the campus in many years. It encompassed additional standard classrooms for an expanding student body, as well as new and upgraded science lab, office, and music spaces. Gray water reuse was incorporated to reduce potable water consumption.

 
University of Louisville - Rare Books Archives, Forst & Associates, Education Project

University of Louisville - Rare Books Archives

Location: Louisville, KY
Type: Renovation

Description: A former lecture hall in the basement of the library was renovated into a temperature- and humidity-controlled, rare book archival space. There were unique challenges, not only for the HVAC design, but for construction as well to work within an active building and perform work in the basement.

 
Bellarmine University - Knights Hall renovation, Forst & Associates, Education Project

Bellarmine University - Knights hall renovation

Location: Louisville, KY
Type: Renovation

Description: Historic Knights Hall is home to Bellarmine’s basketball and volleyball programs. To modernize the space and improve system efficiency for the seating capacity of the venue, a new HVAC system was installed, along with new lighting. The existing ceiling was removed and duct work installed between the structure – to minimize interference with any action on the court. 

 

Kentucky School For the Blind - Steam Plant Renovations

Location: Louisville, KY
Type: Renovation

Description: One large steam boiler supplies heat to multiple buildings across campus. Underground steam lines, installed 50-60 years ago, needed to be replaced to reduce heat waste. Snow melt over the pipes in the winter showed the condensation and energy loss. The project was completed in multiple phases – and done in the spring to ensure the buildings could be heated by winter.
