Breakthrough Energy Efficiency: Dee Events Center MEP Upgrade
The 12,000-seat Dee Events Center at Weber State University recently underwent an $18.2 million MEP modernization focused on sustainability, reliability, and long-term performance. Lynk Engineers led the design effort, which included a new ground-source geothermal system (with a massive, 285-count geothermal bore field beneath the center’s east parking lot) to support the university’s electrification and carbon-reduction goals. Through careful phasing, the facility remained operational for much of construction, ensuring continued use for community and sporting events. The Wildcats didn’t miss a game!
Best in Class: A Utah School's Award-Winning Lighting
Sandy, Utah's first school was a one-room schoolhouse built in 1881, heated by a single wood stove and shared by forty students of all ages. Nearly a century and a half later, Union Middle School stands on much the same ground: a state-of-the-art campus where intelligent lighting design shapes everything from the parking lot to a Broadway-worthy auditorium. Philip Borup, Lighting Certified Professional at Lynk Engineers, led a lighting strategy built around a simple idea: every light in the building has a purpose, from RGB color washes that transform the auditorium during performances to color-tuned classroom lighting that follows students' circadian rhythms throughout the day.
