UNLV will conduct a geothermal feasibility study near the System Computing Services (SCS) building from July 13 - Aug. 14. The study will include drilling boreholes, installing a geothermal loop (underground pipes and pump), and testing the viability of the geothermal system powering the SCS building.

  • Pedestrian pathways on the west side of SCS will be closed. 
  • Approximately eight parking spaces in Lot I will be blocked off.
