The entire hot water boiler plant at Enfield Elementary, which has reached the end of its useful life and represents an inefficient and outdated system, is being replaced with the district's first geothermal heating system. A new exterior electronic sign is also being installed.
February 2025 Update from Campus Construction
Troubleshooting of mechanical heating/cooling system is continuing.
Weekly Coordination meetings continue to be held between the Mechanical and Controls Contractors, Tetra Tech, and Campus.
The geothermal equipment and controls have been operating much more stable. Final balancing report remains incomplete as does commissioning.
Proposals for added cooling piping to the café have been reviewed and returned to the contractors for final revisions.
Mechanical Contractor has declined any additional work citing the percentage of total contract value being withheld pending completion.
We recognize the impact our construction has on the community and value your input. If you have questions, concerns, or ideas, please reach out to us via the Let's Talk! portal: ithacacityschools.org/letstalk.
If you have an immediate concern, you may call the school to speak with the building principal. Please DO NOT engage directly with contractors.
