Resident-safety-first MEP for a licensed senior living community in East Texas.
Working with the project architect on the Thomas Trace Assisted Living community in Tyler, QD Design engineered mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems across residential units, medical/administrative support space, and common areas. Senior-care MEP carries life-safety weight: infection-control-aware ventilation, emergency power provisions, and fully accessible plumbing were designed in from the start. The project ran through phased city reviews across five months to approval.
