This spring, construction began on a 1.6 megawatt photovoltaic solar power system on all of the usable roof space on the Academic Podium. This project is a highlight of our energy master plan and assists in achieving the ultimate goal of having 100 percent of the campus electricity use sourced from renewable energy. Indu Lnu, the university's Energy Manager, dedicated years to the planning and implementation of this important initiative. The energy produced by the panels will commence in conjunction with the opening of the ETEC building. Installation of the panels will continue into September and be ready for teaching and research purposes this fall semester.
