Chilled Water Tower Convinced corporate management of the financial and functional feasibility of a central cooling plant - which the design team evolved into a visual icon: a custom-designed evaporative cooling tower atop a 54 high/3 story tower which houses the chillers and pumps in the 2nd and 3rd levels commonly perceived as a stylized water tower. The low velocity fan in the custom evaporative tower abates the normal noise from typical high- velocity evaporative units and the central plant eliminates the visual blight of compressor units throughout the project. The custom designed evaporative tower was at a $150,000 premium absorbed into an $80,000,000 project. An added value is that it occupied only a quarter of the valuable beach real estate than it would have otherwise.
