Project Description
The Microsoft Thermal Energy Center (TEC) is designed for a 10,500-ton chilled water plant with heat recovery and geothermal energy exchange to support the new East Campus Modernization, which consists of 17 new buildings (approx. 3,000,000 square feet) on a 72-acre site. This project features 875 geowells drilled 550 ft underground and uses the earth’s constant temperature to heat and cool Microsoft’s campus.
MacDonald-Miller collaborated with AEI & GLY on the MEP design of the TEC. Our prefabrication approach utilized Building Information Model (BIM), providing better collaboration across teams and ensuring successful on-site work.
