ELECTRICAL POWER FACILITIES MASTER PLAN AND PROJECTED LOAD The Facilities Master Plan recommends constructing approximately seventeen (17) new buildings, three (3) new on-campus parking structures, and two (2) new chiller plants. While some of these buildings will displace existing buildings, most of the associated electrical load is expected to be additive to the existing campus demand. Using historical power density data from Mines and
