Cincinnati Zoo
Administration Remodel—Fast paced remodel of 10,000
SF of administrative offices, including the main sales and
marketing conference rooms and the executive offices.
Innova successfully surveyed the building, working from
outdated drawings, and incorporated the existing HVAC
and electrical systems into the new design. This allowed
the Zoo to spend less money on mechanical systems, and
more money on creating custom finishes. This gave the
space a unique character, which the budget may not
have allowed for without the MEP budget savings. Quick
and accurate production of the MEP drawings allowed
the Zoo to get the permit secured and begin working less
than a month after design started.
Simex Theater—Remodel of existing shell space into a 4D
theater. Heavy coordination with Simex, the
manufacturer of the 4D theater equipment wss required.
On-the-fly cost engineering saved the Zoo unnecessary
expenses on the MEP systems.
Envinta Energy Audit—Energy audit for the Zoo's gas and
electric using systems.
Giraffe Building—New overnight accommodations for the
six new giraffes at the Zoo.
Uptown Crossings--New main entrance building for the
Zoo.
Main Entry--New Ticketing building and Gift Shop, with a
geothermal heating and cooling system. These buildings
are LEED Platinum (applied for).
Energy Audits and Building Assessments
Innova Engineering specializes in thoroughly researched,
and carefully and concisely written, building MEP systems
assessments and Energy Audits. We spend as many hours in
the field as necessary to completely understand the
building systems. We research and benchmark similar
facilities. We provide recommendations that can actually
be implemented. We take the time to gather accurate
cost information, so that all payback periods and
anticipated costs of the projects are reasonable and able
to be implemented.
