Adams State Initiates Energy-Efficient Upgrades with Geothermal Systems
Adams State University is investing $17 million in a geothermal heating and cooling system for two campus buildings, supported by $4.3 million in state tax credits. The project aims to enhance energy efficiency and reduce water usage significantly.

Adams State University is set to implement a geothermal heating and cooling system for the Student Union Building and Rex Activity Center, with a total project cost of $17 million, partially funded by $4.3 million in state investment tax credits. Additionally, replacing grass with turf in front of Rex Field is projected to save over one million gallons of water annually.
The geothermal project, managed by McKinstry, will begin immediately and is expected to conclude by the end of Spring 2027. This initiative is part of the Colorado Energy Performance Contracting program, facilitating public institutions to finance upgrades through energy savings. The system is designed to support future expansion and potentially serve additional campus buildings.
