W407 rooftop air conditioning plant room. This shows the huge Biddle air handling unit (AHU) but the problem is that this was a single point of failure. If it broke down, and it was put in the 1970s so pretty old by the time it was replaced in 2004 with several smaller individual units. The large pipes brought chilled water up from the Refrigeration Plant in the basement.
