Tempe campus west quadrant utility expansion
Building Information
This project creates an approximately 4,000 gross-square-foot power distribution center to provide needed electrical capacity for the planned growth and development of Tempe campus’ west side.
The project will include 6,000 linear feet of trench and conduit, four five-inch conduit duct banks, and 9,300 linear feet of feeder cable underground from the APS Butte Substation, located north of University Drive and Dorsey Lane, to the new PDC at Lot 8 for electrical utility service. It will support operations of the new Tempe District Utility Plant, which will draw power from the PDC.
The additional electrical capacity will support numerous existing facilities in the area such as Gammage Auditorium, the Music Building, Nelson Fine Arts Center, Stauffer Community Arts and the Design School. It also will support the new Mill Avenue Student Housing project and University Gateway Building.
