PART III I THE LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN H. UTILITIES AND POWER

One of the most important design objectives is that all utility and power lines be out of sight, that is, underground or within accessible areas of buildings, SITE UTILITIES: 1) The sanitary sewer is provided within a 50' easement running from west to east through the center of the campus and an easement running north and south near the railroad tracks as noted on the plans, Water and gas lines run from west to east across the property and are provided for within the above noted 50' easement. For fire protection, the water line circles the campus about 600 feet from the center; branches move inward. Fire hydrant locations noted on the plans, are subject to change as the campus develops• The present gas line enters from the east. The future major gas line will enter from the west and terminate at the power plant as noted on the plans. Electricity will continue to enter the campus from the south, along the present Shepherd Road, and be supplemented in the future by a major line from the northwest, terminating at the power plant. From the power plant, the electricity will be distributed through the main concourse and connected to the electrical distribution center located in Building No. 2. Heating - in Phase I of Construction: small temporary boilers will be provided in the space which will ultimately be occupied by the cooling center in the library. As the power plant is constructed in sections, these boilers will be phased out.
