The complex south of Stauffer-Flint Hall includes the 1922 power plant, designed by State Architect Ray Gamble and John Shea of B&G, and class whistle; offices and shops for the plumbing, electrical, engineering, major systems and maintenance departments; and the main storeroom.

1906
The 2-story U-shaped building is composed of 2 sections. The older L-shaped section has a stone foundation, rubble limestone walls, and a hipped roof. The projecting vestibule on the front (north) elevation has segmental arched window and door openings with stone voussoirs. This section has single 1/1 wood windows on the 2nd story, and paired 6/6 windows on the 1st story. The paired windows have an engaged stone column at the mullion. The basement has single 8/1 windows. The double hung wood windows have heavy stone sills and lintels. The newer rectangular wing added at the south end of the building has a concrete frame with brick infill and a flat roof. The addition has paired 6/6 wood windows. This building retains integrity and contributes to the architectural and functional character of the District.
