Hermes A. Kontos Medical Sciences Building Chillers and Equipment Replacement
This project consists of replacing two chillers and chilled water system equipment in the Hermes A. Kontos Medical Sciences Building, home to the VCU School of Medicine. The chillers and chilled water system regulate the temperature and humidity for Kontos and the Egyptian Building. The two current primary chillers and chilled water system equipment that will be replaced are original to the building, built in 1996, and have reached the end of their useful life, with one chiller not operational and both chillers requiring significant, costly repairs in recent years.
