Not all of our more than 50 completed projects for the University of Arizona are featured on a campus tour.

High-profile facilities that our company worked on, such as the Student Recreation Center expansion and award-winning renovation of Old Main, are must-sees for students, faculty and visitors. Just as important is the infrastructure that a growing campus needs, such as the project we’re carrying out on the north end of campus near Banner-University Medical Center.

The scope includes renovating an existing central heating and refrigeration plant to house new equipment, installing two 2,500-ton chillers along with chilled water pumps/piping, a cooling tower, steam piping, utility tunnel modifications and supporting utilities.

Substantial completion is scheduled for May 2016.

“This project will help provide heating and cooling throughout campus,” said Project Manager Mike Schlabach. “The public will never see some of our best work.”

Sounds like a cool project. Maybe it’s time to expand that tour.
