OHC Grant and Donations to WHS Fund New Wakeman Hall HVAC

On September 16, 2021 a new HVAC system (furnace and air conditioner) for the WHS Archives was installed. The Archives is located on the second floor of Wakeman Hall.

This project was made possible in part by the Ohio History Fund, a grant program of the Ohio History Connection. The Ohio History Fund is made possible by voluntary donations of state income tax refunds, sales of Ohio History “mastodon” license plates, and direct donations to the Ohio History Connection. www.ohiohistory.org/historyfund

OHC received 49 grant applications and awarded grants to 14 recipients. The OHC grant will provide $3,867 towards the project with the balance coming from donations to WHS’s Capital Campaign. On July 10 Requests for Proposal were sent to six area contractors with three proposals being received by the July 31 deadline. On August 4 AW Heating & Cooling was awarded the project. AW was the low bidder with a quote of $7,462.00. Our sincere thanks to everyone who made donations to the WHS Capital Campaign and to OHC for making this much needed project possible.
