RAN Fire Protection Engineering performed fire protection engineering services for the approximate 56,000 square foot renovations to Clarkson Hall in Potsdam, NY. The scope of services included sprinkler and standpipe design for the expansion of the existing basement sprinkler system to the first, second and third floors. The design overcame the challenges of integrating a sprinkler system into an existing building through extensive coordination with existing building systems and features to reduce disturbance within the building during construction.
