Warehouse, Grounds and Engineering Maintenance: Warehouse, Grounds and Engineering Maintenance is located on Ridge Road (across from the golf course). Collins Chiller Plant: The central chiller plant is a state-of-the-art facility that supplies 42-degree water via underground pipes to cool buildings on campus. It replaces the noisy and inefficient air conditioning units in these buildings with 40% more efficiency. It is named for Robert W. Collins, director of the physical plant from 1990 to 2000. Steam Plant: The Steam Plant is located next to the laundry in the center of campus.
Cashion Power Substation: Located on the west side of campus, the substation provides the campus with a more secure source of electricity, attaching directly to Duke Power's main transmission lines. Engineered in a "loop" configuration, the college can quickly restore power to a building from another direction if an underground line on campus is cut. The substation is named for Phillip D. Cashion, the director of utilities at the college for 37 years.
