Cooling unit (100, 200) including a base (102, 202) having a housing with control components (110, 112, 212), a cooling tower (104, 204) attached to the base (102, 202) at a first end of the cooling tower (104, 204), the cooling tower (104, 204) having an inner flow path and an exterior surface, and an air distribution system (106, 206) attached to the cooling tower (104, 204) at a second end of the cooling tower (104, 204). The air distribution system (106, 206) has a first enclosure (130), a second enclosure (132) defining an air distribution chamber (126) between the first and second enclosures, a cool air dispenser (138) configured in the first enclosure (130), a warm air (142) dispenser configured in the first enclosure (130) at a location different from the cool air dispenser (138), and a cover (144) disposed on an exterior surface of the second enclosure (132). The control components (110, 112, 212) are configured to convey air through the base (102, 202), the cooling tower (104, 204), and the air distribution system (106, 206) to dispense air through the cool air dispenser (138) and the warm air dispenser (142).
