Good afternoon,

Last year, Oberlin College and Conservatory took an ambitious step toward carbon neutrality and launched the campus-wide conversion to geothermal heating and cooling thereby positioning the institution as a national leader in clean energy. Oberlin’s drive toward carbon neutrality will continue this spring with the second phase of construction for the Sustainable Infrastructure Program (SIP).

The installation of hot water and chilled water pipes will resume on campus starting next week with construction mobilization. Mobilization entails setting up fencing and staging areas to establish safe working zones and bringing materials and equipment to the campus to enable an efficient working environment.

This year’s underground work will begin from the Central Services Building and head to the north, in the general vicinity of Woodland Street. Once mobilized, the contractor will be installing geothermal water pipes from the Central Services Building to the north practice fields with the routing being on the east side of Mercy Hospital, and then running along the western edge of the soccer field and track up to the north fields. In addition, hot water and chilled water pipes will be installed this summer up to Union Street Housing.

Signage and Fencing
Week of March 14: As mobilization begins next week, you will see the initial activities of setting up some protective fencing and/or barriers in the Hollywood parking lot for truck routes.

Site Prep and Staging
Week of March 21: Starting next week, the team will begin receiving materials and staging them at the southeast intersection of woodland and Union Street, as well as at the Central Services Building parking lot.

Please be aware that heavy equipment is active and on campus throughout the day. Safety is our highest priority, and we ask for your help to ensure everyone is paying attention and alert while walking through campus.

Wayfinding maps will be updated on the Activity Page each Friday. For more information and background details, please visit the SIP website: Oberlin College's Sustainable Infrastructure Program.
