NIH | Northwest Childcare Center
Bethesda, MD
A new 21,000 SF building was constructed at the corner of Convent and Center Drive on the NIH to serve as the Northwest Child Care Center (NWCCC). The site is located at the corner between the NIH Fire Station and the Children's Inn. The facility provides campus-wide capacity for daytime child care and houses up to 170 children. The NWCCC includes classrooms for infants, toddlers, two-year olds and preschool age children. It also includes a multi-purpose room and a full service kitchen. The NWCCC functions extend to three (3) playgrounds on the project site. Throughout the design process there was a collaborative effort of the Owner and design team with the sustainability consultant, to integrate appropriate sustainable design features and relevant LEED credits. This project was awarded LEED Silver Certification with a total of 53 points.

Thorlabs | Stayton Drive Clean Room - Phase A
Jessup, MD
In 2017, CFR closed the books on the construction administration and startup for phase A of its first semi-conductor facility. Phase A of this project involved 3,000 SF of ISO 7 clean room space for MOCVD equipment. Phase A implemented the building systems for the clean room space, as well as 28,000 SF of additional fabrication and product assembly space, mechanical rooms, hazardous storage, and waste treatment. Phase B will develop the remaining 7,000 SF of ISO 5 through ISO 8 clean rooms for the fabrication and assembly areas. The design team proudly implemented the following systems from the ground up: chilled water with air cooled chillers, gas fired reheat water, ASTM E grade DI water, HEPA Filtration air systems, nitrogen and ultra pure nitrogen generation, acid neutralization, acid exhaust air scrubbers, hazard chemical storage, and high purity gas distribution.

CFR Gives Back
CFR Engineering contributed pro-bono MEP design engineering services for the Charles Houston Recreation Center in Old Town - Alexandria. The renovated room is intended as a "safe haven" for inner city kids. It's not only a safe retreat after school and weekends but it will give these kids an opportunity for a brighter future through developing healthy and supportive friendships, educational opportunities, mentoring, as well as fun activities to keep them coming! The space was one large room that lacked character and creativeness. The goal of the project was to give the space more character by removing the ceiling, providing fun and inviting lighting, making fun media center areas, furring out the existing CMU walls and giving them life through artwork and creative storage.
After a lot of hard work and contributions of time and money from many volunteers the Charles Houston Recreation Center Youth Room officially opened with the Grand Opening Reception on November 17, 2017.

Awarded Projects
NIH | Building 6B - Replace HVAC Systems
Bethesda, MD
This project consists of two smaller projects. One to replace all of the constant volume terminal units with pneumatic controls to new DDC terminal units. A careful equipment survey and load calculation was done to ensure the proper airflows to the spaces. The second part of the 6B HVAC Upgrade is to replace many of the systems providing heating hot water, chilled water and supply air to a majority of the building. The new 6B systems are to be segregated from the systems serving the Vivarium portion of building 6B. We are providing such systems to replace the steam station, air handling units, hot water converters, heating water pumps, chilled water pumps and associated piping and auxiliary equipment. The chilled water system is being modified to provide a tertiary connection to the campus chilled water loop.
VA Medical Centers | Arc Flash Analysis and Electrical Study
Multiple Locations, MD
The general scope of work is to provide electrical system studies for the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) at
three (3) locations; VA Medical Center, Loch Raven VA Outpatient Clinic, and Ft. Meade CA CBOC. CFR is providing a complete short circuit, coordination and arc flash study including voltage drop calculations on the entire electrical systems (both normal and emergency) at each VAMC site. Each study begins at the incoming utility electrical service and emergency generators and continues through to each branch circuit panelboard, motor control center or motor control panel in each building.
The total square footage of medical centers to be studied is approximately 736,134 SF.
