The recent growth of Southern Adventist University, a co-educational Seventh-day Adventist institution in Collegedale, Tenn., meant various school facilities were in need of renovation and a new structure had to be built. The renovations began in 2011 and specifically focus on various retrofitting piping projects across campus.
When the administration began to focus on the modernizations, Dave Allemand, the university’s associate director of plant services — building systems management, knew he would need to specify piping that could work for many types of projects. He tasked his lead plumber, Tim Mitchell, with researching piping options.
