Two important capital project opportunities
Background Missouri S&T proposed debt financing for two major projects on campus last fall Geothermal Energy Project $32.4 million New Construction and Renovation of Schrenk Hall Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry $51.2 million Debt financing would take advantage of the low-interest rates
Geothermal Energy Project This project will use ground source heat pump chillers to provide heating requirements for the campus to replace the current boilers in the Power Plant (installed in 1958, 1963 and 1981). Investment in this project will initially yield approximately $1.4 million in annual energy/operational savings, growing to $2.8 million. In addition, this project will address $26.4 million in deferred maintenance needs identified.
Geothermal Energy Project Debt service will be supported from energy and operational cost savings. At the completion of the project, the Power Plant coal and wood fuel steam boilers will be decommissioned. The project will result in reducing the production of over 25,000 tons of CO 2 gases per year, a 60% reduction in the campus carbon footprint.
Schrenk Hall Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry Built in 1938 and ,854 GSF Schrenk Hall is in terrible condition.
