The Central Plant at Oklahoma State University is a state-of-the-art facility designed to improve efficiency and reduce the university's environmental footprint.
Located along Washington Street, the 73,000-square-foot facility was completed in April 2018 to replace the defunct Power Plant, which was built in 1948 and demolished in 2025. It serves 10 million square feet across the OSU-Stillwater campus, providing steam for heating and chilled water for cooling. The Central Plant features advanced efficiency equipment, which is estimated to save more than $400,000 annually in energy costs.
Additionally, the facility includes an 80-person classroom for interdisciplinary teaching and an observation deck for students and visitors to view the boiler and chiller floors.
