Project Overview
MEP engineering for the 13748 Ventura Blvd – Sherman Oaks project supports the partial renovation of an existing two-story mixed-use building located at 13748 Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, California.
The renovation focuses on the second floor, which includes speculative office spaces and an apartment. New and revised mechanical, electrical, lighting, and plumbing systems are designed to support the renovated spaces while the existing ground-floor retail tenants remain in place.
A major infrastructure component of the project is the replacement of the existing electrical service and meter switchboard, which is no longer usable. The new electrical infrastructure must support the renovated second-floor spaces while maintaining appropriate service for the mixed-use property.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services include new HVAC, electrical power, lighting, and plumbing design for the second-floor speculative offices and residential apartment.
The ground-floor retail tenant spaces are existing to remain, requiring careful coordination of the renovation with active building systems and infrastructure serving those tenants.
Electrical engineering also includes replacement of the existing service and meter switchboard. The new equipment and distribution infrastructure are coordinated with the requirements of the office, residential, and existing retail occupancies.
