Pickering was selected to provide mechanical and electrical design for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), renovating 9,000 SF into a facility that produces drugs for clinical trials. The renovated space is to include three prefabricated clean rooms (PODs) by G-Con, four labs, office and other support spaces.

Waterside systems include two air-cooled chillers with buffer tank, two condensing hot water boilers, primary-secondary chilled water and hot water pumps with standby. Air side systems include a 100% outside air (OSA) make-up air unit to supply air to the PODs, an office air handler, one 100% OSA air handler for the Labs and one air handler supplying HEPA filtered air to a clean corridor outside the PODs. A heat recovery coil loop recovers sensible heat from laboratory exhaust, and preheats or precools the air handler supplying 100% outside air to the laboratories. The building automation system was installed by Johnson Controls, Inc.
