Lorenzo De Zavala State Library and Archives is a 114,000 SF complete interior demolition and build-back. The renovation incorporated all new MEP systems including four new air handlers totaling 125,000 CFM, new chilled water piping throughout the building, new primary electrical power feeds and main switchgear, and a new FireCycle III Pre-Action fire protection system. The building was occupied and contained irreplaceable archival documents during construction. Maintaining a constant temperature and humidity as well as eliminating dust were critical for the protection of the documents. Some of the key architectural finish details include new decorative terrazzo flooring, floor to ceiling tempered glass walls, and a maple-nosed, radiused staircase with an ornamental stainless steel handrail.
