Fifth Third worked diligently on a new workplace solution to support their recent expansion and company growth in their downtown Cincinnati headquarters. Motz Engineering worked with BHDP Architecture on a workplace study of Fifth Third employees to understand not only how users were to function in each of the spaces, but also to fully understand how to provide proper mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection solutions that promote the best use of the space. The client had a variety of spaces which required different designs – for example, Motz coordinated with Fifth Third to understand the demands for cooling and power for their daily traders, each of whom had computers that required specialized and ultra-reliable IT needs for security, power needs for uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and extra cooling to meet the demands of their units. Fifth Third selected some high-end finishes in various parts of their floor plans, which required coordination with specialty furniture vendors, graphics consultants, and audio visual consultants in order to meet the design intent. Fifth Third is a client that Motz Engineering provides services for on both the workplace commercial office work and building facilities infrastructure, meaning not only do we help refresh their commercial office floors, we build mechanical master plans for the life of their buildings to find opportunities to help them solve any facility issues. Motz provides a master plan and commits to renovating identified mechanical and electrical pieces throughout the larger renovation projects that not only meet the goals of the master plan, but each floor’s individual needs.

Motz Engineering recently provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design services for a commercial office refresh project, American Modern Insurance Group. Located in Amelia, OH, the American Modern (AMIG) Headquarters supports thousands of customers in the United States and utilizes the fourth floor for general office support. Interested in a more agile open floor office plan, AMIG desired a flexible and collaborative space that supports workflow and problem solving, and team and cross-team communication. To properly support the modern workforce, huddle spaces are designed as collaborative zones that enable seamless interdisciplinary coordination specifically for presentations and meetings. For the mechanical systems, Motz worked with AMIG’s facility team to replace identified VAVs to ensure that the design was budget conscience and did not call for the replacement of properly-working devices. Lighting and mechanical systems were tied into existing BMS systems to promote energy efficiency and control during peak and non-peak working hours.

With 8 chillers and 6 cooling towers throughout multiple chilled water systems spread across three buildings, Fifth Third Bank was in need of a complete chilled water/condensed water system replacement at their 32-story corporate headquarters located in Downtown Cincinnati. Motz Engineering was hired to strategically consolidate the multiple systems into one unified central plant while replacing all major infrastructure equipment that had passed their useful life (4 chillers and 4 cooling towers were original to the building in the mid-1960s). The replacement included 3 new 700 Ton Chillers, 1 multicell cooling tower and a water-side economizer. With the original system running various spaces (2 plants for the retail spaces and 1 plant for their tower), the Cooling Tower was placed on top of their low-rise building while the chillers were relocated to the basement mechanical room. This also allowed the existing plant to remain operational as the new plant comes online. The new system will not only save energy and resources, but will save the client money in both the short and long term. The new design and placement resulted in consolidation of maintenance systems and allows for easier replacement in the future by requiring only a typical crane in lieu of a costly helicopter lift. As an additional requested service, Fifth Third contracted Motz Engineering to manage the entire project from the early phases of material and subcontractor procurement through warranty administration.

Motz Engineering worked with lighting specialty designers, stage consultant designers, and specialty audio visual vendors to develop a highly integrated design package, capable of hosting rock ‘n roll bands or salsa nights, with maximum flexibility. Motz Engineering plumbing and mechanical engineers worked with BHDP Architecture to coordinate drainage and water runoff at the plaza level, to ensure that rainwater properly flowed to the city’s storm water system, without additional penetrations in the plaza membrane – which is coincidentally the roof to the subterranean Fountain Square Parking Garage.

The Delta Terminal 2 modernization project consists of approximately 250,000 square feet of renovation and expansion to the existing terminal. The project includes ceilings, terrazzo flooring, passenger security screening checkpoint relocation and expansion, demolition of existing concession retail spaces along with their support spaces relocation, Delta and BCAD offices, and renovated restrooms, gate holdrooms expansion, a mezzanine level for the new relocated Delta Sky Club, airside glass curtain wall, roof, landside stairs and escalators, and ramp apron renovations. In addition are connector bridges between Terminals 2 and 1, and between Terminals 2 and 3 to allow post security passenger movement between terminals. Turner Construction (CMR) subcontracted Motz Engineering to perform in-depth MEP System Commissioning and to perform in-depth system review to generated phasing plans to maintain functionality of all HVAC and Electrical systems of the occupied terminal during construction.
