The South Chiller Plant Expansion provides additional chilled water capacity in preparation for growth in the Health System area. The project will consist of a two story, 10,000 gsf addition with new chillers and other mechanical equipment. Located behind the Medical Research Building 4 and along Crispell Drive, the plant will provide up to 4,000 tons of additional chilled water to the Medical Center for air conditioning and equipment cooling in new projects such as the Clinical Cancer Center, the Carter Harrison Medical Education Building, Hospital Bed Expansion projects and future hospital expansion. The current design of the plant will have the capability to incorporate an additional 2,000 ton chiller unit and support systems as needed in the future. Currently the building system and surrounding landscaping is near completion with all mechanical systems installed and undergoing commissioning and testing.  Final  construction is scheduled for completion fall 2008.
