Web Case Study-Georgetown University Prepares Infrastructure For Growth
Mueller Associates of Baltimore, MD, has been working on a design project that expands Georgetown University's utilities infrastructure with the addition of three 3,000-ton chillers and other upgrades to the central utility plant and distribution systems.
A second major phase of construction has substantially been completed to update and expand Georgetown University's utilities infrastructure. The project, which includes the addition of three 3,000-ton chillers and other upgrades to the central utility plant and distribution systems, was designed by Mueller Associates of Baltimore, MD. The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. is the general contractor for the work.
Envisioning several years of campus growth ahead, facility executives at Georgetown University first selected Mueller Associates in 1994 to study the aging central chiller plant and develop a plan for near- and long-term infrastructure improvements. A decade later, Mueller's recommendations have enabled the university to enhance system capacity in support of ongoing facility construction, including ambitious new projects in the South Quadrangle area and proposed mid-campus development. "Georgetown University's utilities infrastructure is well positioned to accommodate campus expansion for many years to come," says Mueller Principal-in-Charge Gary Johnson.
