Construction Projects

UKGS Emergency Generator

This project will upgrade the emergency power system in the Good Samaritan Hospital facility to a level required to properly support the current load requirements. The project will add a new interior 750 kilo-volt-ampere generator and connect in parallel with the existing two. In this configuration, two generators will support the facility. The third generator will be redundant and allow for routine maintenance without compromising the emergency operation of the hospital. The resulting design capacity will be 1800 ampere at 480 volts. This additional generator will be placed in the existing paint shop and two adjacent storage areas. CPMD Contact: Brian Hoerr (brian.hoerr@uky.edu)

Repair Emergency Infrastructure

Reconstruct and replace steam vaults and tunnel damaged by water and replace the connecting two vaults which are deteriorated beyond the point of repair to include the protection or replacement of the existing steam piping and valving within. Phase 1a: Install a new 2” high pressure return pipe (HPR) from the existing west side of the tunnel under Rose St at Huguelet and extend to the existing steam vault near Small Animal. In addition, install a new 3” forced main on the sump pump from the west side tunnel to the closest sanitary manhole. Extend new electrical service from the existing Small Animal steam vault to the existing west side tunnel and provide new lighting and power in the west side tunnel. brian.hoerr@uky.edu

Frazee Hall Modernization

The Frazee Hall Modernization project will provide 22,081 gsf of space. The $15M modernization will revitalize the facility with a total renovation of the existing building, enhancements to the building envelope, a new elevator, two new stair towers, and the construction of a connector to the Gatton Student Center.

Construction Around Chem-Phys

Funkhouser Drive, Library Drive and portions of Rose street will be fenced off, with no access to pedestrians. This includes the walkways between Funkhouser and Breckinridge Hall as well as many others. Facilities Management, working in collaboration with Transportation Services, Environmental Health and Safety and the Office of Institutional Equity, has developed an accessible route around the site as well as signage to assist with campus navigation. The closures are due to the modernization of UK's Chemistry-Physics Building, utility work on Rose Street.
