SC Engineers served as the Mechanical Engineer of Record for this project which provides a Parking Structure and Police Substation at Miramar College. The 5,300 SF Police Substation serves as the central hub for campus safety and security, wayfinding, and parking permitting and includes a reception area, conference room, offices, and a secure suspect processing area. The substation is attached to the campus side (west side) of the four-story, 270,770 SF, 828-car parking structure.
The project achieved LEED Platinum Certification, making it the first Platinum Certified Community College project in San Diego County. Sustainable features include a green roof to help insulate the building from high temperatures and heat gain; a solar chimney to create natural ventilation through the building; daylight harvesting; low-flow plumbing fixtures; and a state-of-the-art, integrated DDC system to monitor and control energy consumption.
