Central Energy Plant, (UF Main Campus)

Developing a series of infrastructure improvements to increase the reliability and efficiency of the thermal and electrical utilities that serve the campus. The UF-623D Central Energy Plant (CEP) project is one of three major interrelated infrastructure projects being constructed on the Gainesville campus. UF building utilities are served by a district energy system using steam and chilled water produced in plants throughout the campus and distributed through an underground piping network. Electrical utilities are distributed through a UF-owned medium voltage network delivered from separate utility substations. The CEP project will provide a new steam production source for the campus and consolidate chilled water production capacity for the south part of campus into the new plant. The new 130,000 square foot CEP will be constructed on the southern half of the existing Gale Lemerand Commuter Parking Lot, south of Museum Road. The CEP will sit adjacent to the Lake Alice Conservation area. The plant will consist of three floors to house major process mechanical and electrical systems along with an attached two-story office area on the north side of the plant. The plant building will be constructed using a deep pile foundation system with a steel framed structure. Cast-in-place concrete cooling towers will be integrated with the building structure. The CEP will be designed and constructed using Green Globes guidelines for sustainability and performance providing an equivalence of LEED 'GOLD' rating. The total project budget is $200,000,000, including site improvements, underground utilities, fees, surveys and tests, total building comissioning, furnishings and equipment, and contingencies; inclusive of a construction budget value of $165,000,000
