Since early 2007 United Mechanical and Apple have improved nearly 300,000 square feet of office and R&D space. These spaces have ranged from dedicated labs with 24/7 computer room air handling units to ultra modern and high-end exposed spaces meant to attract and retain the new generation of employee. As an industry leader in their field Apple is among a group of companies that have the environment in mind and has voluntarily registered their two most recent projects with the USGBC to attain a LEED Gold rating. As one of Apples approved vendors United Mechanical is committed to providing HVAC&R systems that have our engineering staff thinking outside of the box in our design while maintaining an efficient and functional system.

This 18 Story structure was built in 2000 but stood empty until BEA purchased it in 2007. The building consists of 12 floors of class A office build out. The first 5 floors consist of the infrastructure necessary to support their business. This infrastructure includes an auditorium for all hands meeting and customer presentations; an executive briefing center; a full service and kitchen and cafeteria; training center; and corporate Data Center. This design build project was performed using LEED techniques.
