Ditto, I went to NCSU and they have an extensive steam heating system. I believe chilled water is also used for cooling. We (semi-)famously have an extensive underground tunnel network across campus that people have broken into and explored.

Duke University, just a few miles away from NC State, had a coal-fired boiler system (switched to NG in 2011) and a spur railroad line for delivery of that coal. One of the roads names bears this history, today : West Campus' Coal Pile Drive.
