NBC Studios

HVAC Success Story:
NBC Studios Chicago

Client: NBC Studios

Location: 454 N. Columbus Dr., Chicago, IL

Project Type: Full HVAC System Installation

Project Completion: Summer 2025

The Challenge

NBC Studios needed a complete HVAC overhaul in an 85,000 sq. ft. live broadcast facility—without disrupting on-air operations. Space was tight, schedules were tighter, and the stakes were high. With every second of downtime impacting live television, precision planning and flawless execution were non-negotiable.

Our Solution

F.E. Moran delivered a fully integrated HVAC solution built to perform under pressure:

  • (2) 36,000 CFM Custom Built-in-Place Air Handlers
  • (3) 106KW Precision Cooling Systems
  • 150,000 lbs. of Complex Duct Installation
  • Thousands of Feet of Chilled & Condenser Water Piping

Tight conditions. Zero margin for error. Our experienced team, led by foremen Tim Dykstra and Austin Leboe, coordinated flawlessly—fitting high-performance systems into a live studio environment with surgical precision.

Key Coordination

Managing the building’s Trane Controls vendor was no small feat. Our team brought the same grit, ingenuity, and clear communication to this integration as we bring to every install. It’s part of what makes us different—solutions aren’t just engineered; they’re earned.

‍

The Outcome

Thanks to a strong partnership with Clune Construction, NBC Studios will debut its state-of-the-art, energy-efficient HVAC system in Summer 2025—a system that protects people, property, and air quality every day. Designed to last and built to perform, this project reinforces our reputation as the go-to partner for mission-critical mechanical systems.
