Case Study

      The Topeka VA wanted to completely renovate their 6-C wing to create new, modern space for resident care. The updated facility would include 15 patient rooms, a dining room, kitchen and living room.

      McElroy’s helped the VA strip out all old HVAC equipment, ductwork and piping, plumbing and fixtures, leaving the wing as an empty shell.

      Key to the upgrade was a state-of-the-art, high-efficiency, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system for optimum, zoned climate control and energy efficiency. Each resident room was individually equipped with medical piping, a shower and automatic, touch-free bathroom fixtures.

      The innovative experts and superior craftsmen at McElroy’s provided mechanical systems that will support the VA’s resident-centered care, while limiting long-term costs of ownership.
