Renovation of a day care center in Maplewood, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a day care center.

There is need to renovate the building HVAC system for any re-use of the vacant facility that had operated as the Care Center. The Project includes replacement of existing outdated equipment. The existing HVAC system and its components are original to the facility and were installed in 1979. The system is beyond its useful lifecycle and its components need replacement. This system is comprised of over 70 pieces of equipment including 13 major air-handlers, 22 exhaust fans, 13 pumps, and a number of other heating/cooling units. For any use, replacement of the system is necessary to provide convenient, accessible and welcoming service to residents across the County. A new HVAC system will also result in less energy consumption in support of the county's priority to mitigate climate change. This project is included in the city’s 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of May 16, 2024, per owner, this project was approved in the 2022-2023 capital budget, however the project was not completed as a decision was made to close this facility in 2022. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
