The West Heating Plant is located at the very southern end of SW Eleventh, just west of the Peter Stott Center and above the Twelfth Avenue exit ramp from Interstate 405. The building is not open to the public. West Heating Plant supplies steam for heat and chilled water for air conditioning through a tunnel system to the Stott Center, Millar Library, Science One, Science Two and the School of Extended Studies. It also contains an emergency power generator that feeds the Stott Center and Millar in the event of a power failure. Construction on the West Heating Plant occurred in 1964 as part of the Health & Physical Education Building (now Peter Stott Center) project, designed by Wolff & Zimmer. Zimmer Gunsul Frasca architects designed an addition to the plant in 1974. |
