Madison College, EVOC Facility

Columbus, Wisconsin

The Madison College Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (EVOC) Facility is vital in preparing first responders for the demands of intense emergency driving. The electrical design scope of this project included extending services to pre-engineered metal buildings used for classrooms and vehicle storage, interior and exterior lighting and controls, emergency lighting, and site lighting. Technology design work included extending new communications service to the building, network closet design, and security-related services. Henneman Engineering designed sanitary, storm, domestic water and fire protection systems, and assisted with water well and septic system specification. Concrete slab and foundation designs were provided for the pre-engineered buildings.

Henneman Engineering provided electrical, lighting, technology, plumbing, fire protection, and structural design services.
