OSU Central Plant & Power Distribution Upgrade
The central utility plant serves 10 million SF across the OSU–Stillwater campus, delivering reliable steam and chilled water to 82 buildings. High-capacity boilersand chillers support heating, cooling, and process needs through an extensive underground distribution network. Designed as both infrastructure and a teaching tool, the facility includes an 80-seat classroom and an observation deck overlooking plant operations. The project also modernizes the campus electrical distribution system with increased voltage capacity, underground duct banks, and anew 12,000 SF power distribution center that includes a hardened basement electrical vault designed to withstand F3 winds, strengthening resilience and supporting the university’s long-term growth.
