Project Title: Heard Museum
Project Designation: Negotiated, Entertainment
Owner: Heard Museum
General Contractor: Brignall Construction
Architect: Jacobs Talt Architects
Engineer: Landmark Facilities Group
Project Description:
Midstate Mechanical was selected to provide mechanical services for the renovation of the Heard Museum. The 26,645 square foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona is a private, non-profit museum founded in 1929 by Dwight B. and Maie Bartlett Heard to house their personal collection of cultural and fine art. More than seven decades of history have transformed the world famous Heard Museum into what USA Today describes as "the nation's most prestigious private Indian arts center."
The project called for demolishing one building and building a new one in its place. Underground ductwork was used beneath the new building to air condition an existing building. A temporary DX system was installed while the new chilled water lines were run and new ductwork installed. One gallery had to be air conditioned and operational after the unit was demolished. Humidification was achieved by new humidifiers and dehumidification coils with hot water from two new boilers. All this was accomplished while the building was occupied and open for visitors during regular operating hours.

Project Title: Casino Arizona Tent Structure
Project Designation: Negotiated, Entertainment
Owner: Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community
General Contractor: Chanen Corporation
Architect: Leo A. Daly
Engineer: Leo A. Daly
Project Description:
Midstate Mechanical was selected to provide $1.1 million in mechanical services for Casino Arizona, located on the Pima Indian reservation. The project consisted of a 26,495 square foot tent structure and two other buildings which house a lounge, dining, office and gift shop with an additional 5,623 square feet. This fast track project had crews working seven 10-hour work shifts. The inside duct system is a DuctSox, a polyester fabric material instead of metal and is mounted on a track furnished by the manufacturer and hung from metal that spans the tent carrier frame. The outside units have exposed duct on steel legs 24 feet high at the tent entrance. The Aaon air handlers with thermal heat wheels were used due to the 50% outside air requirements for the project. Plumbing for the project includes roof drains, a kitchen, central restrooms, 10,000 gallon grease interceptor and water softener.
