Chiller renovated,
temperature rises
□ Chiller to be
“on line within the
next three weeks.”
In the meantime,
students make do.

A new chiller plant is under
construction on campus caus
ing buildings to reach swelter
ing temperatures.
All the buildings on campus
are heated by steam and cooled
by chilled water, both provided
by a plant located behind Belk
Dining Hall. Approximately
three weeks ago, the chiller
plant, which produces air con
ditioning by using chilled
water, was shut off for renova
tions and upgrades.
According to Tom Sherry.
Director of Facilities Services,
“the new Science and Math
building will require about as
much water for air con
ditioning as the rest of the
buildings on campus.”
In order to meet the new
demands for air conditioning,
the chiller plant needed an
upgrade.
Prior to renovations, the
College was cooled by two
chillers. The oldest chiller was
removed, and two larger units
will replace it.
According to Sherry, the
other chiller will remain as it is
because it was upgraded about
five years ago.
The new chiller plant will
consist of diree chillers that
will be housed in a two-story
building behind Belk Dining
Hall. The construction of the
building is underway and
moving right along.
The water treatment facili
ties will remain where they
currently are.
“The existing chiller should
be back on line within the next
three weeks,” says Sherry.
The College purchased the
two new chillers about one
month ago. but they are not on
campus yet because the build
ing is not completed. They
will be stored with the general,
contractor. William C. Vick,
until they are ready to be
moved on campus.
According to Sherry, the air
conditioning in the buildings
was scheduled to be turned off
until March 22; however, it has
not been turned on yet.
Sherry says that the project
was scheduled for this season
because of the mild tempera
tures so that discomfort could
be kept to a minimum. In
order to compensate for warm
temperatures, the steam has
been turned off. so there is also
no heat in the buildings.
Although there have been
few complaints to Facilities
Services, some students have
experienced discomfort in the
dorms due to warm
temperatures.
However, most students are
coping well.
According to sophomore
Laura Bates, a resident of
Brewer, “Rather than tuming
on the air conditioning, I turn
on fans and open the windows
to cool my room off.”
