EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Awarded Contract to Install Mechanical Systems at Harvard University

EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, as previously reported during its third quarter conference call on October 23, announced that its EMCOR Services Northeast subsidiary has received a contract to install mechanical systems at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.

EMCOR Services Northeast will be responsible for the replacement of two indoor main air handler units in Robinson Hall, built in 1900 and one of the central buildings at Harvard University. Located within the basement mechanical area of Robinson Hall, the air handler units provide heat and air conditioning from the University’s power plant steam and chilled water systems, along with fresh air for ventilation.

The replacement of the units will occur in two phases, which will allow the Robinson Hall---that houses both the History Department and classrooms---to remain open with at least 50 percent cooling or heating and ventilation during the entire project.

“As the largest provider of mobile facilities services in New England, we combine leading-edge, technology-based delivery, with exceptional client care to meet the standard and mission-critical needs of our clients, many of whom we've worked with for years,” said Phillip Megna, President of EMCOR Services Northeast. “We look forward to working with Harvard University and using our knowledge to create a more comfortable and learning-conducive environment for the students, faculty and staff.”
