Outlying Boiler Services (OBS)

OBS provides operations and maintenance services for small to medium sized heating boilers and large domestic water heaters in over 100 University buildings throughout the Ann Arbor campus area. The bulk of the OBS buildings are General Fund facilities, with the largest concentration on the North Campus. Most of the buildings in the Central Campus area are served from the Central Power Plant rather than OBS. [Image: This is boiler #4 in the Hoover plant
