Senators
Brown and Gardner Announce Funding for UT Campus
Infrastructure Improvements
University of Toledo to receive $2.1 million for equipment
for Campus Infrastructure Project
Special to The Truth
This week, Senator Edna Brown (D-Toledo) and Senator Randy
Gardner (R-Bowling Green) announced that the State
Controlling Board has released $2.1 million to the
University of Toledo for equipment for the Campus
Infrastructure Improvements project.
According to the request, the funding will go toward
investing in the addition of cooling towers for the two
existing chillers in the South Chilled Water Plant as well
as a new chiller for the North Chilled Water Plant, both on
the Main Campus. Adding cooling towers to the South Plant
and a chiller upgrade at the North will make them more
dependable and will encourage effective energy utilization.
Plant modifications will also reduce maintenance costs
across Main Campus.
“I’m pleased that the University of Toledo received funding
for the Campus Infrastructure Improvements project,” said
Brown. “These are necessary upgrades that will benefit the
university’s students and staff while also producing a
desirable fiscal outcome.”
Brown, who is the Senate Minority Whip, received agreement
from Gardner, who is Senate Majority Floor leader.
“We must continue to support basic infrastructure assistance
for our higher education institutions,” Gardner said.
“These funds help us protect the public’s investment in
these facilities.”
