Steam, chilled water and electricity will flow from Jenkins Street after a new construction project is finished, a university spokesman said.

A new power plant is under construction on Jenkins Street south of Lindsey Street to help with increasing utility demands due to campus expansion, university spokesman Chris Shilling said in an e-mail.

The street was closed before campus opened Tuesday to unload equipment, but construction will not hinder student travel, Shilling said.

Requests for information regarding the cost and date of completion of the plant were submitted to Shilling and Facilities Management, but The Daily had received no response at press time.
