Project Description: The district chilled water system is responsible for supplying majority of the cooling for our facilities.  A 2014 study investigated the University’s system.

The air conditioning equipment in Kings Street Annex will be replaced and connected to the district chilled water system. The laying of pipe and other necessary work for this project will have a large effect on the campus. Cherry Street and John Q.
