Ever wonder what keeps Georgia Tech humming? Look around you. We’re standing at the base of the Holland Plant Cooling Tower. It’s been a vital part of Georgia Tech since 1917. This isn’t just any cooling tower. It’s a piece of Georgia Tech history. The Holland Plant, tucked away behind the A. French Building at 680 Power Plant Drive, has been quietly powering the campus for over a century. The Holland Plant generates the steam that heats and cools many buildings on campus. It also provides hot water for some showers and dining halls. Imagine the countless students who have walked these paths, unaware of the humming giant working behind the scenes. The Holland Plant is more than just a utility. It’s the heartbeat of Georgia Tech. In 2000, the plant underwent a significant upgrade. They added 2,000 tons of cooling capacity. This involved replacing a smaller chiller and installing a massive new cooling tower. They also improved the chilled water distribution system. Even more impressive, they implemented a well water system to conserve water and reduce costs. So, next time you’re enjoying a hot shower or walking through a comfortably cool building on campus, remember the Holland Plant Cooling Tower. This unsung hero works tirelessly to keep Georgia Tech running smoothly.
