East Campus Utility Plant | University of Delaware

Keast & Hood provided structural engineering design for the new three-story (two levels above grade one level below), 32,000 square foot chilled water plant with 11,000 tons of cooling capacity.

The University of Delaware serves more than 16,000 undergraduates and 4,500 graduate and continuing studies students. Capacity of the school’s central campus utility plant was deemed insufficient to serve estimated existing and future peak cooling loads. In order to support a new science building, a proposed revised housing strategy, and future campus expansion, a new East Campus utility plant was designed and built.
