The U.Va. Medical Center’s East Chiller Plant is located adjacent to Lee Street. Currently, there is a need to replace five 1,200 ton chillers (6,000 total tons) in the North Chiller Plant that are at the end of their useful life. When completed, the chiller plant will supply cold water to the medical center.

In preparation for the plant’s construction, a retaining wall will be erected around the site. In addition, Crispell Drive and Lee Street will be realigned with Roosevelt Brown Boulevard to streamline traffic flow to the Health System facilities and parking structures.

The new East Chiller Plant will provide a building shell for a 10,000 ton plant with 6,000 tons of initial installed capacity in the form of three, 2,000 ton chillers.
