Fribley Commons
Case Western Reserve University | Cleveland, Ohio
Innovation in Dining Spaces
The 30,000 SF newly renovated Fribley Commons provides students with new dining options supported by two commercial kitchens. The space also includes meeting rooms, a conference room, and a parcel pick-up area.
The project achieves energy efficiency in an energy-intense space. The building has earned LEED Silver certification. It is projected to provide 19% energy cost consumption savings compared to standard kitchen and energy systems design.
New infrastructure complements Fribley’s new look. The team replaced the majority of MEPT infrastructure. New mechanical systems include a water-cooled chiller system, hot water boiler system, and new air handling systems. A new building automation system monitors, controls, and reports energy consumption.
