During a cold and snowy winter, we salute the unsung heroes who keep us warm (and our roads and sidewalks clear)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how heavy the snowfall or how cold the temperature, when Cornellians arrive (or awaken) on the Hill, they\u2019re greeted with plowed parking lots, clean sidewalks, and warm buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe and warm is an around-the-clock job\u2014performed by the dozens of workers in the University\u2019s facilities and grounds departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with the Ithaca winter dragging on (and on!), Cornellians<\/em> wanted to give them some well-deserved attention\u2014and gratitude. So read on for a peek behind the pipes and plows!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning Up the Heat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to keeping campus toasty, it\u2019s not just a question of comfort. As Josh LaPenna, director of utilities production, notes, \u201cthe stakes are high.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a large institution like Cornell, a burst pipe could potentially cause millions of dollars in damage\u2014and some parts of campus, like labs and greenhouses, are especially temperature sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t heat a greenhouse properly,\u201d LaPenna observes, \u201ca researcher who has been growing a plant for 10 years could have their work destroyed in 45 minutes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure systems are running correctly, the Central Energy Plant\u2019s control room (which aggregates temperature data from buildings throughout campus) is constantly monitored\u2014in fact, LaPenna says, it has been continuously staffed by at least two workers since the building was completed in 1922.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how is all that heat generated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the plant\u2014located on Dryden Road, east of Collegetown\u2014two massive turbines burn natural gas to make electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhaust heat produced during this process, which reaches a whopping 1,000 \u00b0F, could theoretically go to waste\u2014but instead, it\u2019s used to boil the water for the campus\u2019s steam heating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, on especially cold days, additional heat-specific boilers are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Until 2010, the University burned coal before switching to cleaner natural gas. The next goal, LaPenna says, is for the campus to become carbon neutral by 2035\u2014with heat harnessed from the Earth\u2019s core<\/a> through a system that\u2019s currently being explored.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what if, despite everyone\u2019s best efforts, a deep freeze leads to a cracked pipe or water line? Facilities workers start digging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey come in the middle of the night, Christmas\u2014whenever they need to do it, they do it, and it\u2019s hard work,\u201d says LaPenna, whose team is responsible not only for the campus\u2019s heating but also its electricity, cooling, and drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt can be a thankless job, because people don\u2019t see it happening\u2014but they are all unsung heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Clearing the Streets (and Sidewalks)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Cornellians are snug in their beds as the snow comes down, members of the grounds team arrive at 2 a.m. to begin plowing roads and parking lots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 4 a.m., those clearing sidewalks and stairways get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n

The main areas on campus take around four hours to complete. But if the snow is really wet and heavy, clearing all 15 miles of roads and 61 miles of sidewalks can require a grueling seven hours or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe real challenge is when they have to keep going back out because it keeps snowing,\u201d says Dan Schied, director of grounds. \u201cThat\u2019s exhausting; you\u2019ve done it once, now you have to go and do it all again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more than 40 staffers have regular snow-removal routes\u2014but if they’re covering a different one, they’re assigned via a color-coded map of campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers can access a free vending machine filled with items that they may need during their shift, such as gloves, vests, and hand warmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a typical winter, crews spread more than 1,875 tons of salt. And even when there\u2019s just a light dusting of snow, grounds staff frequently apply deicers to keep the sidewalks safe for pedestrians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(As Schied notes: salt becomes relatively ineffective below 15 \u00b0F, so when the temperature drops, they use a version that’s treated with magnesium chloride.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for winter weather begins each year around Halloween\u2014so if there\u2019s an early storm, the equipment\u2019s ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By mid-November, the fleet of around a dozen trucks for plowing roads and parking lots and another dozen tractors for clearing sidewalks is ready to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s rare when there\u2019s a snowstorm that 100% of our staff doesn\u2019t show up, unless they\u2019re sick or a road is closed and they can\u2019t get out,\u201d Schied says. \u201cOur team is very dedicated, and they take snow removal seriously\u2014so when it snows, they\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
