ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA – The Winthrop University Board of Trustees approved the bids for two projects involving Joynes Hall and Byrnes Auditorium during its Feb. 26-27 retreat.
The first project calls for Joynes Hall’s mechanical system to be removed and replaced by Climate Control Systems Inc. The project will cost $872,000 and will replace the mechanical room and the first- and second-floor fan-coil units.
Also, a Byrnes-Joynes steam line replacement will cost $1 million. The project, awarded to McCarter Mechanical, will replace the underground steam and condensate lines between the two buildings.
Both facilities projects are state funded.
