The Indiana General Assembly Friday approved a $41.8 million grant to Ball State University for a project that will replace four boilers on campus.
Jim Lowe, director of engineering and operations at Ball State, said the General Assembly approved the money two years ago, but Ball State had to present a plan showing it could replace the boilers for a lower price than a third-party contracting company could before it could receive the money.
The project will begin in 2009, Lowe said, and the first boilers to be replaced will be two that were installed in 1941.
The new boilers will be about 80 feet tall and will use new coal technology, which will reduce emissions and make heating at Ball State more efficient, Lowe said.
