Today a tour was planned for the
mechanical rooms of Temple Hoyne Buell Hall, but we were not able to
obtain access because all mechanical rooms have been sealed off due to concerns that students will try to obtain access to the underground system of steam tunnels that runs through campus. Instead of being taken directly to the mechanics under the building, we were shown the oddly visible portions of
the mechanical systems that run through TBH Hall.
The return and supply systems of air for THB Hall are not only visible but prominently displayed to the outside world from the top of the building. They move all of the warm or cool air throughout the hall during the more unpleasant seasons of the year, the supply line branching off into increasingly smaller pipes as it reaches to bring air to individual rooms further and further away from the source.
