Building 153 Generator 3 radiator fan protection and generator upgrade constructionThe Agricultural Research Service is forecasting a construction project for Building 153 in Ames to install a third generator, upgrade existing generators to a capacity of 2250 KW, and implement outside protection for radiator fans. This project is necessitated by the relocation of MB to B21 in FY25, which increased the overall electrical load on the facility's power systems. The total estimated cost for the project is 3,500,000 dollars. To secure the necessary budget, the campus intends to provide 10 percent in matching funds to the ARS facilities division with the expectation that the division will fund the remaining balance.
