CenTrio is driving a $118M modernization to boost campus resiliency and reliability. Key upgrades include installing an 8 MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, replacing aging steam assets, and electrifying the chilled water plant to double its capacity. These improvements ensure reliable capacity for the future while meeting the university goals.
Acting as the Concessionaire under a 40-year agreement, CenTrio manages a substantial upfront investment to modernize & maintain campus utility systems. This delivery model eliminates University risk, freeing up capital for academic priorities. We serve the campus & three third-party healthcare partners through a structure supported by equity investment & operational responsibility.
Operating on a constrained site requires precise collaboration. We maintain daily coordination to ensure construction never disrupts critical services for the University, hospitals, or the JMA Wireless Dome. Our open dialogue strategy guarantees that plant upgrades and complex interconnections happen seamlessly alongside daily campus activities.
Our Sustainability & Impact Annual Report tracks progress while our Sustainable Infrastructure Plan maps out a comprehensive decarbonization roadmap to guide our activities.
We recognize the power of community connection. We build positive relationships through economic organization alliances, local event sponsorship and service, and educational workshops.
We operate the largest ice battery system in North America, maintaining comfortable building temperatures year-round and reducing electricity costs for thousands of end-users.
We displace fossil fuels by harvesting heat energy from wastewater. Our ambient loop captures thermal sewer flows, transforming the NWC into a bold, low-impact sustainable landmark.
