About Olin Hall
This nine-story building houses research and teaching labs, classrooms, and offices. This school at Vanderbilt is primarily dedicated to chemical and biomolecular engineering, as well as (our specialty) mechanical engineering!
We were proud to be a part of Olin Hall’s 2011 renovation on this mid-70s, 51,500 sq. ft. building. And thanks in part to the renovation efforts, Olin Hall has modernized classrooms and facilities to enhance the experience for its undergraduate and graduate students to get a top-notch education.

Full HVAC Redesign by Griffin Mechanical
Griffin redesigned the Olin Hall HVAC system from the ground up, then went to work. We demolished and installed over fifty variable air volume (VAV) boxes, complete with medium-pressure ductwork and air distribution. This was the perfect setup for Olin Hall School of Engineering.
Plumbing Overhaul
We installed thirty water coolers, along with water filtration and copper piping lines.
This plumbing renovation was done in a very tight timeline during peak summer hours, so time was of the essence!
Griffin made sure the summer students and faculty could stay cool during the hot summer months. Thanks, Vanderbilt!
