Atlantic Hall Boiler & Clean Energy Upgrade

Department

Campus Planning, Design & Construction (CPDC)

Overview

This project advances a major clean energy upgrade at Atlantic Hall through the installation of a solar-assisted, electrified heat pump system that will provide heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. The design aligns with New York State’s All-Electric Buildings Act and supports the university’s broader sustainability and electrification goals.

As part of the system strategy, the Southampton Library will play a supporting role, with rooftop solar infrastructure contributing to a shared hydronic loop serving Atlantic Hall.

Key Highlights

• $7m capital investment in clean energy infrastructure

• Installation of an electrified heat pump system for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water

• Solar-assisted hydronic system to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon impact

• Structural upgrades and full roof replacement at the Library to support solar installation

• Temporary heating and cooling systems deployed to maintain building operations during construction

• Infrastructure designed for future adaptability and campus-wide resiliency

Impact

• Modernizes heating, cooling, and hot water systems in Atlantic Hall

• Integrates the Southampton Library into a shared, solar-assisted energy system

• Improves overall energy efficiency and system performance

• Reduces reliance on fossil fuels

• Advances compliance with New York State electrification requirements

• Supports long-term operational reliability and campus sustainability goals

Anticipated Completion: Spring 2028
