The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art provides a location for almost 500 pieces of art from the collection of Tom & Mary James/Raymond James, at the existing 100 Central Avenue building in downtown St. Petersburg.

  

This project renovated two floors consisting of 80,000 SF. The Museum provides 30,000 SF of gallery space and the balance of the space includes a theater/auditorium, office space, event space, and a lounge area, all of which required the design of new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems.

Mechanical design included HVAC system renovation with air cooled chillers, VAV boxes and ductwork, Direct Digital Controls, Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), and custom air handling units. Mechanical design also included custom mechanical systems for two artwork display cases.
