BIA.studio, in partnership with Honeywell International and Waldron Engineering, has commenced design for an addition to UMaine’s Central Steam Plant, located on the west side of campus next to the Stillwater River. The new Energy Center will allow UMaine to drastically reduce its use of fossil fuels and support its commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The Energy Center will use locally-sourced renewable fuel to provide essential heating service to the Orono campus.
