The Central Plant generates and distributes steam and chilled water to meet the campus needs for space heating and air conditioning, hot water generation and scientific research support. The Plant is operated 24 hours per day 365 days a year. Physical Plant staff are responsible for the safe and efficient operation, preventive maintenance, and repairs to the facility. Outside of regular campus business hours (during evenings, weekends and holidays) the CHCP staff also perform all the communications and dispatch duties of Service Operations Support.
