Edward M Kennedy Institute
Project Scope:
The Edward M. Kennedy Institute project included a complete electrical installation of extensive power, lighting, audiovisual capabilities, and fire alarm systems. This project required us to work in several unique environments, including full-scale replicas of both Senator Kennedy’s Washington office and the United States Senate Chamber. The program also included University of Massachusetts teaching classrooms, a chiller plant, and two large mechanical spaces.
Highlights:
- 3,000-amp switchboard
- 400-kilowatt diesel generator with normal and emergency power distribution systems
- Siemens® fire alarm system
- Lutron lighting control system
- State of the art Electrosonic® audio/visual exhibit spaces
- 50 exterior bollards—each bearing the name of a US state—are lit by in-ground LED fixtures
- Sconce fixtures on gallery walls are replicas of US Senate Chambers fixtures, each one hand-crafted from a custom mold
- Ceiling electrical work in the chamber dome was completed off of 50-foot-high staging, with limited interior ladder access
- Tight schedule and rigorous electrical and AV coordination
