San Diego City College Central Plant Expansion HH-C-006-004

Project Schedule

Project Progress Update

• Initial load assessments confirmed the City College Central Plant boilers (hot water) lack sufficient capacity to meet the projected future demands from upcoming Progressive Design Build (PDB) projects.
• While sufficient cooling capacity exists, expansion may be needed to support long-term demands.
• The central plant will be recommissioned to enhance system performance and reliability.
• Mechanical design team has been issued a NTP to assess campus needs.

Project Features

The San Diego City College Central Plant Expansion Project will upgrade the existing central utility systems to support upcoming expansions to A Building and the Saville Theatre, which together add over 90,000 gross square feet to the campus. The purpose of this project is to study, analyze and assess the following:

• The existing chilled water system has sufficient capacity to meet projected demand, but it is approaching its maximum threshold
• Plan for future campus growth and potential expansion of cooling capacity
• Address a confirmed heating shortfall through the installation of two new boilers
• Consider boiler and chiller additions with associated systems and plant recommissioning to ensure efficient and reliable system performance
