HVAC Upgrade at Nampa Administration Building
College of Western Idaho (CWI) will upgrade the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system on the first floor of the Nampa Campus Administration Building (NADM) beginning on March 25 with a planned completion on April 2. This project will install a system to provide zoning control to improve comfort throughout the varying spaces that exist on the first floor.
For those on the first floor displaced by this project, CWI will make temporary work space available at another campus location. Supervisors will help make arrangements with facilities for temporary work space.
Additional HVAC work will take place on the second floor, but will be limited to the attic space and should not impact operations.
Your patience, as we make these improvements, is greatly appreciated.
