Client: The University of Connecticut
Location: Storrs, Connecticut
Architect/Engineer: Select Energy Services, Inc.

O&G was contracted by Select Energy Services, Inc. to build this co-generation/chilled water facility in the heart of the UConn Storrs Campus. This addition to the existing Central Utility Plant generates 6,300 tons of chilled water and 22 MW of electrical power utilizing a combustion gas turbine. Electricity and steam generated from the new facility meet the existing and future requirements of the University and enable the campus to become self-sufficient for all electrical and thermal needs. The addition encompasses a 15,000 SF primary floor, an 8,000 SF second floor and a 7,000 SF third-floor mezzanine. Select Energy Services, which held the contract with UConn, hired O&G as the building contractor and construction manager. O&G also self-performed the site and concrete work.
