SUMMARY:Tour: Robert M. Beam Power Plant | WMU
DESCRIPTION:At the time the 1925 era power plant transferred to Western Michigan University\, it was a 100 percent coal-fired facility with 40 to 50-year-old boilers that had become unreliable and environmentally non-compliant. Many of us drive past the unmarked\, gated entrance off Stadium Drive\, but few realize the building behind there provides power for all of WMU campus and more.\n Its current use is an efficient co-generation  power distribution providing steam heat\, electricity and cooling production for the campus of Western Michigan University. As complex as the plant is\, it is only staffed by 17 people year-round\, with some being certified welders and electricians. The plant also offers a unique on-the-job training program for trades people. \nSpeaker and tour: Matt Cronkhite \nGather: 5:30pm – must use gated entrance off Stadium Drive \nWe will have dinner first\, then have the tour at 6:30 \nTo pay $10 for dinner by credit card\, use add to cart button below: \n\n\nRegistration | Evenbrite \n  \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print
