Upgrade to residential facility as part of a larger restoration of Rosary Building, which is a historic 9,000 square foot, 3-story structure built in 1929. Over the past 90+ years, this building has served as a teaching and living space for the sisters; however, during that time, there were no major updates made to the HVAC and plumbing systems. The building is home to Sisters in active ministry as well as those requiring assisted living or skilled nursing care. Axis Mechanical was responsible for completely upgrading the plumbing, heating and cooling systems for the sisters’ residences. This included installing a Multiaqua simultaneous heating and cooling chiller system, which uses water for heating and cooling (rather than traditional R410A refrigerant).
