TAMIU Campus Plan Master Plan Update, May 2023

115 Campus Master Plan Update 115 C/ APPENDIX Mid-Term The Mid-Term expansion is comprised of a 3-building Student Housing Complex (F) and two Academic Buildings (G and H). Buildings G and H are located adjacent to buildings A and B. DHW will be provided to G and H by extending the loop serving A and B as described in the Near-Term plan. DHW will be generated locally for building F by natural gas water heaters. The Centerpoint natural gas line runs adjacent to the project site for F, making it a practical solution for hot water production. Long-Term The Long-Term expansion is comprised of an addition to the Fine Performing Arts building (I), a two building Student Housing Complex (J), 6 new Academic Buildings (K, L, M, N, P, and Q), a Student Life building (O), and a new Arena and Ball Fields (R and S). There will also be a Central Plant expansion (U) and an expansion to C for a Business School Academic Building (T). A new domestic hot water loop will need to be installed to serve projects K through O. The estimated size of the loop is 3” supply and 2” return. This will also require an estimated 2 new boilers of the same capacity as the existing boilers be installed in the Central Plant expansion, and as stated above there appears to be adequate natural gas capacity for the new equipment. DHW for project I will be provided by the existing connection to the system serving the FPA building. DHW for project J will be served from new natural gas water heaters added to the RLC DHW plant. There is roughly 2,800 CFH capacity in the 2” line that serves the RLC site, which is estimated to be adequate for serving project J. The new Administration Buildings P and Q will have local DHW generation either by electric water heaters or natural gas water heaters. The natural gas option will require a new tap off of the Centerpoint line that serves the campus. DHW for projects R and S will be generated locally either by electric water heaters or natural gas, with the natural gas option requiring a new tap from the Centerpoint service line.
