Setup more efficient usage of hot water boiler as they reported it as very expensive to run – currently only 2 showers for the whole of the block

Note:
Two relatively new industrial boilers in plant room – they requested that we provide piping from those boilers into the dormitory block (75-100 mts away) so that hot water can be piped to dormitory block. Main piping already exists to run the radiators – not convinced that it will be possible to use same boilers to provide hot water as there may only be a single feed / return and it may closed loop with inhibitors in it.  Gas fired boilers are cheaper to run than electric and the one electric boiler they do have (running 2 showers in the main dormitory block) is very expensive to run. 
 
Provide replacement computers

Provide small hot water heaters over sinks (and in kitchens)

Tables and chairs required

Kitchen equipment required

Good decoration – but some artwork would really improve the area
