CREATIVE ARTS CENTER HVAC UPGRADE
Project Manager: Bev Denlinger
Project Description
The Creative Arts Center was constructed in 1973 with north and south additions in 1988. This building houses the University Theatre, Music, and Art Departments. The original HVAC systems consisted of small multi-zone air handling units serving a single floor or portions of a floor. These units are past their useful life and can no longer be maintained. The scope of this project is to replace the numerous outdated HVAC units with larger equipment for more efficient operation and maintenance. This project will also address temperature and noise. Construction will begin in the summer of 2005 and take approximately one year to complete.
Project Update
Equipment replacement for the theater wing was completed over summer 2005. Screenwalls to screen the equipment are planned to be installed fall 2005.
