The Challenge

Springfield Clinic purchased a vacant building that previously housed a hematology institute, with the intention of converting it into a new, Springfield Clinic Urgent Care location. However, the building’s existing systems were not up-to-date or conventional, consisting primarily of flex duct, which can be hard on the equipment and wear it down quickly. Adding complexity to the project, there were also no existing drawings, and the building was not pre-balanced.

We re-balanced the building, providing us with the necessary air flow readings to continue with our design. We overcame the lack of drawings by performing fieldwork to determine equipment and duct locations. We worked to minimize the amount of flex ductwork, reducing air static pressure loss through the system, thereby helping to reduce the wear on equipment and conserve energy. Additionally, we made all necessary adjustments to accommodate the new needs of the clinic. As a result, Springfield Clinic now has another location in Peoria, allowing them to better serve the needs of the community.
