The Power Plant is located at the rear of the Framingham State University property. Three oil-fired boilers produce steam that provides heating, air conditioning, and hot water for the majority of the buildings on campus. This power plant is operated 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by 7 full-time licensed operators when students are living on campus. The power plant shuts down for nights and weekends during summer months when there is no need for air conditioning or hot water during those times.
