Renovation of a conference / convention center in Milladore, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 6,200-square-foot conference / convention center.

The work consists of replacing the heating and cooling systems in the 6,200 square foot Stanton W. Mead Education and Visitor Center at the George W. Mead Wildlife Area. The existing horizontal geothermal wellfield will be purged, capped, and abandoned, and the associated water-to-air and water-to-water heat pumps within the building will be demolished. New forced air furnaces will be installed where the air-side heat pumps were removed to serve the existing duct systems, with DX condensing units located outside on grade. New boilers, hot water pumps, and accessories will be installed where the water-to-water heat pumps were removed to serve the existing radiant floor systems. Electrical connections will be modified as required for the installation of the new systems. A new LP tank and exterior LP piping will be installed by others; the scope for this project begins where the LP piping enters the mechanical rooms and will serve the new furnaces and boilers.
