Project Highlight
Ithaca, NY
The president of RAN Fire Protection Engineering was involved in the scope of this project which was broader than just mechanical, fire protection, and electrical matters. Much background research was involved to investigate the universities fire protection goals. The current fire protection loop on campus was documented and evaluated, suggestions for improvement were made.
Size: 2,300 acre campus
Williamstown, MA
RAN was retained to perform fire protection consulting services to the Hewat House on the Williams College campus. RAN ensured code compliance for the building and the layout of heads for the fully sprinklered building.
Size: 6,610 sqft | Construction Cost: $30,000
Delhi, NY
At SUNY Delhi, we designed and managed the upgrade of their proprietary supervising station alarm system, significantly enhancing campus safety. We created a new monitoring station for the campus police department and installed a wireless network with radio transceivers in over 20 campus buildings. This advanced system gives campus police the ability to monitor fire alarms from a central location, providing them with immediate and specific information about the location and type of alarm. Our design and construction administration services ensured a seamless upgrade that fully complies with all codes and standards.
Size: 30 Buildings | Construction Cost: $146,500
Binghamton, NY
Binghamton University underwent a complete redesign and renovation of their 22,000 sqft food union. The new design featured a variety of restaurant stands, and an elaborate ceiling design which included a grand rotunda.
RAN Engineering designed a sprinkler system that integrated seamlessly with the elaborate ceiling design as well as the complex mechanical and electrical systems. Coordination was achieved through the use of Revit 3-D modeling, allowing for precise placement and clash detection. A key consideration was the aesthetic impact, as the sprinklers and piping were strategically designed to blend into the background, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space.

Watertown, NY
RAN provided the fire protection engineering for the new construction of Jefferson Community College’s Residence Hall. Approximately 300 students are housed in this dorm which also has recreational spaces and classroom. RAN developed a cost-effective sprinkler and standpipe design for the 4-story building. The implementation of this design eliminated the need for a fire pump, leading to significant savings for the client without compromising the safety of the resident students.
Size: 98,000 sqft | Construction Cost: $315,000
Albany, NY
At The College of Saint Rose, we provided fire protection engineering services to enhance long-term safety and compliance across their multi-building campus. Our work included developing an extensive Fire Alarm Master Plan, a critical strategy for the next 5 to 10 years, which ensured the system could be upgraded in the future. We also designed a new proprietary supervising station with remote annunciating capabilities, creating a central monitoring hub for the entire campus. Additionally, a new wireless communication network was engineered to ensure reliable fire alarm notification for all facilities, allowing for faster, more informed responses to emergencies.
