EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Receives Mechanical Systems Contract For LEED Certified San Quentin Health Services Building
NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, January 3, 2008 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses globally, announced that its Marelich Mechanical subsidiary has been awarded a contract to provide mechanical systems for San Quentin’s new Central Health Services Building.
Marelich Mechanical will design, build and install the plumbing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems for the new, approximately 116,100-square-foot, five-story Central Health Services Building at the San Quentin Prison. The project will replace the existing facility, while preserving some of its historic elements, including the 1885 hospital façade. The new building will support the delivery of improved healthcare services, including medical, dental and mental health, to the inmate population. It will be constructed according to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
“As the prison population continues to grow and age, the delivery of health services is more important than ever before. The sophisticated, team-delivered nature of this project, which is being done within the secure perimeter of San Quentin and requires that existing services remain uninterrupted, is another example of the complex work we are consistently called upon to perform,” said Keith Atteberry, President and CEO of Marelich Mechanical.
