Design new MEP systems for 4,500 sq. ft. cyber cafe, Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ

Montclair State University wanted to augment the use of the Harry A. Sprague Library with a new computer room by building a new cyber café where students could have access to computers with internet. Students can also bring their laptops and connect to the hi-tech wireless network, next to a small café. A part of the existing library along with an addition in front of the library was converted to an approximately 4,500 sq. ft. cyber café at a cost of $2 million.

A&J Consulting designed new Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection Systems for the café. Since 75% of the building’s façade was covered by glass, special considerations were made to effectively condition the space.
