The project will also upgrade the campus underground utility distribution system from the central plant to accommodate future low temperature heating water and steam heat. These improvements will increase energy efficiencies, reduce rising utility costs and the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gases. 3.Aviation - $9,900,000 The project will accommodate significant enrollment growth within the Department of Aviation, by designing and constructing a 4,000-square-ft. modular addition to the Aviation Training Center.
