Two important
capital project
opportunities
Background
 Missouri S&T proposed debt financing for
two major projects on campus last fall
 Geothermal Energy Project
• $32.4 million
 New Construction and Renovation of Schrenk Hall
• Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and
Chemistry
• $51.2 million
 Debt financing would take advantage of the
low-interest rates
Geothermal Energy Project
 This project will use ground source heat
pump chillers to provide heating
requirements for the campus to replace the
current boilers in the Power Plant (installed
in 1958, 1963 and 1981). Investment in this
project will initially yield approximately $1.4
million in annual energy/operational
savings, growing to $2.8 million. In
addition, this project will address $26.4
million in deferred maintenance needs
identified.
Geothermal Energy Project
 Debt service will be supported from energy
and operational cost savings. At the
completion of the project, the Power Plant
coal and wood fuel steam boilers will be
decommissioned. The project will result in
reducing the production of over 25,000 tons
of CO2 gases per year, a 60% reduction in
the campus carbon footprint.
Schrenk Hall
Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry
 Built in 1938 and 1973
 141,854 GSF
Schrenk Hall is in terrible condition.
Construction Project Opportunity
205,354 Gross Square Feet
 $51M project
 $43M in bonds
 $8M to be raised from private sources for
new building
Construction Project Opportunity

Proposed Site
Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological
Engineering, and Chemistry Project
 Debt service would be around $2.6M
 Additional majors in 3 departments
 Facility fee
 Increased sponsored research activity
 This project would impact positively
approximately 3,000 S&T students annually,
including 600 students majoring in these three
disciplines
 In addition, completion of this project would
address $15 million in identified deferred
maintenance needs
