The conversion of Lotz Paper Building to the Avant Garde Office  Suites and Restaurant Space was undertaken during 2017-2018.  EnviroControl Systems was contracted to install the mechanical systems;  including two 25ton RTUs, three 20ton RTUs, two exhaust fans, and 1,000 feet of duct.  All of these projects were undertaken while maintaining the functional slide from 4^th to 3^rd floor.

This project employed value engineering solutions consistent with the building’s designation on the National Register of Historic Places.  The budget to complete this 20,000 square foot project was fixed, and EnviroControl Systems was able to work with it to finish the comfort systems need for all 5 levels of the building; including restrooms, food service areas, and the entertainment area.

The design and installation of the mechanical system; which included 7 RTUs and 2 split systems for 80 tons of cooling, covered 36,000 square feet and four floors.  This project included event space (first floor), office space, exercise and catering space, and  exposed ductwork throughout.
EnviroControl was tasked with maintaining historical architectural features of the building.

This project was accomplished in four phases and required over 1 year to complete.  The project was to provide mechanical systems in both new construction and building retrofit to this historic Cincinnati theater facility.  Three adjacent  spaces and new construction on former parking lot were completed to create one cohesive space.
