The project is the third phase of a multi-phase plan to upgrade the chilled water and electrical utility infrastructure and delivery systems on the University’s St. Paul campus. The project consists primarily of the construction of a new two-level utility building adjacent to the existing Continuing Education and Conference Center electrical substation located at 1890 Buford Avenue.  The construction of this building addition will include the installation of electrical ductbank and underground piping to connect this new facility to the campus chilled water distribution system.  

Subsequent phases of this project will include the installation of chillers, cooling towers and associated mechanical and electrical equipment in the building space provided by this Phase 3 project.  Subsequent phases will also include the installation of underground distribution piping to connect additional building to the central chilled water loop, installation of piping connections to those building, installation of additional two-way valves to replace three-way valves, and installation of new replacement cooling coils.
