Congratulations to the Microsoft Buildings 30, 31, 32 (Pebble Beach) and Global Innovation Exchange (GIX) project teams for their wins at the NAIOP Night of the Stars! Auburn Mechanical is proud to be part of those outstanding teams.
Auburn recently finished work on the Kaiser Permanente facility in Burien. It was a design-build, plumbing and HVAC project that included the new ground-up construction of a single-story, 23,000 SF medical office building. Mechanical work completed included labs, imaging, procedure rooms, exam rooms, offices, common spaces and a pharmacy. The scope consisted of a sanitary waste/vent, storm drain, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system, domestic water systems, natural gas, exhaust, and associated ductwork.
Hoa Mai Gardens is a new, 111-unit, low-income housing apartment complex in the Yesler neighborhood of Seattle. The project was for the Seattle Housing Authority, and Auburn was the design-build mechanical contractor in lieu of full design-build and the full mechanical contractor. Other features of the project include a rainwater harvesting system that provides water for the toilets and the solar powered boilers.
