North American Mechanical, Inc.

Owner: QBE North America
Designer: Potter Lawson, Inc.

QBE Building 300 was an unusually fast track project that involved remodeling over 70,000 square foot of office space in 35 weeks. Much of the existing ductwork and piping required a redesign to accommodate the floating cloud ceiling concept. North American Mechanical, Inc. overcame unforeseen obstacles such as undersized existing piping, design modifications that required material changes or a rework of existing systems. The cloud ceiling concept required upgrades to traditional insulation materials and techniques. A special insulation was used that would accept and hold paint. The high visibility of all the mechanical systems required special care when insulation was applied.
