Interior Ducting Removed at the Brown Brothers Building Ahead of HVAC Upgrade

Worker cutting metal duct with tool during HVAC removal at Brown Brothers. — Crew member uses a power tool to cut through existing ductwork as part of the HVAC removal at the Brown Brothers Building.

At the Brown Brothers Building, crews removed the old interior ductwork to clear the way for a brand-new HVAC system. The metal ducts, insulated with fiberglass, were pulled from the ceiling and cut into smaller segments for disposal. In their place, new ductwork and updated AC units will be installed as part of a modern, safer and more efficient climate control system.

This step clears the way for what’s next at the Brown Brothers Building, helping to ensure cleaner construction and better health conditions for future use.
