At A Glance
Dallas College and the Construction Education Foundation (CEF) has bolstered construction trades workforce development by building a 97,000-sq. ft. school in the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) suburb of Coppell, TX. The new center trains and certifies tradespeople for mechanical HVACR/electrical/plumbing (MEP), carpentry and other construction careers, as well as continuing education credits.
Nortek Air Solutions donated six custom air handling units (AHUs) and two dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) ranging from 2,500 to 17,500 CFM. The AHUs feature the latest advancements in FANWALL TECHNOLOGY®.
Architects designed the building where working AHUs, piping, ducting and other HVACR equipment are visible to visitors and accessible for student learning through glass and open walls and ceilings.
Dallas College challenged engineers and architects to design the CSB with three popular, but vastly different methodologies-AHUs, variable refrigerant flow and chilled beams-to help students learn a variety of commercial HVACR concepts.
