BOYS TOWN CAMPUS
Boys Town, NE
Background
Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home, known throughout the world as Boys Town, is a beacon of hope for America’s children and families through its life-changing youth care and health care programs across the United States. For over 90 years, the Village of Boys Town, a 128 building, 640 acre campus located in west Omaha, has served as its national headquarters.
Engineered Controls began working with Boys Town in 2006 to provide integrated facility management system solutions for their entire Omaha metro campus. After a comprehensive study by Boys Town facility personnel, Engineered Controls was selected as their building management system supplier of the future.
“The Honeywell WEBs system, built on the Niagara® Framework™ provides Boys Town an incredibly cost-effective solution,” said Pat Killeen, President, Engineered Controls. By linking all the existing building management systems into one unified Facility Management System, Engineered Controls continues to help Boys Town streamline building operations and help to reduce their energy costs.
The building management system consists of a Honeywell WEBs system architecture and controls a mixture of mechanical and electrical equipment including AHUs, RTUs, ERVs, FCUs, HRs, VAVs, EFs, a complete boiler and chiller plant.
In addition to the traditional campus network, in 2009, Engineered Controls participated in the construction a new Boys Town Research Hospital, located on the extreme south side of the campus.
