University of New Haven Aquaculture Laboratory, New Haven, Conn.

As part of it's larger project at the Boathouse at Canal Dock Park, AEI also provided MEP/FP resilient design services in the Aquaculture Laboratory that involved locating building systems above the flood plain level in the event of a hurricane-strength storm surge. The lab includes a head tank system and a recirculating aquaculture system. Fortification measures were accomplished by constructing a raised platform across the first level for occupant circulation around the tanks and relocating equipment at necessary heights above the flood elevation.
