Sept. 22, 2004: University To Save Through Johnson Controls Facility Improvements
THUNDER BAY, Ontario - Lakehead University, home to more than 7,300 students here, recently announced a comprehensive infrastructure renewal program designed to enhance classroom and research environments.
These improvements, delivered through a strategic business agreement with Johnson Controls L.P., will enable the university to save $11.4 million in energy costs and address $9.3 million in deferred maintenance over a 19-year period, says the company. The program combines energy cost savings and avoided maintenance costs to generate excess funds over the long-term.
