This collection documents the construction and maintenance of the Springfield College Power Plant. The collection includes a proposal to build the power plant that includes expected costs, some early reports on the running of the power plant between 1916-1918, inspection and maintenance records and correspondence, and some photographs of the exterior of the building. Of particular interest is some correspondence with the United States Fuel Administration during World War I that talks about coal restrictions brought about by the war effort.
