Columbia Manhattanville

OVERVIEW

Developing on a 17-acre plot between 125th and 133rd street is home to the expansion of Columbia University’s Manhattanville. The multipurpose academic campus plan will include complete construction, renovations and upgrades to serve the 17-acre plot. TEC Systems, Inc was contracted to be a part of the growing construction to provide state-of-the-art integration practices for the industrial level plant’s equipment and required devices. Understanding the massive scale and density of the construction at hand, TEC had to demonstrate and introduce new applications and practices to ensure the running conditions and flexibility of the campus was covered through a scalable BMS. Utilizing energy management systems such as Rockwell Automation and Schweitzer Engineering seamlessly integrated the intricacy of the sequence of operations throughout the operator interfaces and panel workstations; this hardware to programming distribution throughout the central energy plant, better known as the Mind, Brain & Behavior Institute became the staple to help implement usability, and better-allocate management effortlessly.
