Jim Beam’s Visitor Center is an eye-catching replica of a 1930’s stillhouse. It features an original staircase from a historic Beam Distillery, and the elevator resembles a giant still. The new facility is a welcome addition to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Shrout Tate Wilson Engineers provided mechanical, plumbing, and electrical design for the new LEED Gold Visitor Center at the Jim Beam Distillery. Green technologies included an HVAC system with 2-pipe geothermal water source heat pumps and energy recovery units. The project included low-flow plumbing fixtures.
The electrical system included voice/data communication systems, CCTV, building security monitoring, special controls for general building lighting and exhibit lighting, an in-house projection system, and a fire suppression system.
