Solar Farm a Possibility for East Campus
Sunrise in the East
To reach an ambitious benchmark calling for obtaining at least 30 percent of its energy
from renewable sources, 黑料不打烊 staff and faculty recently met with
a team of specialists.
Coordinated by Marshall Chimwedzi, director of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 expanding electric Bulldog Transit System and its subsequent charging station, a meeting with Holt Renewables of Austin, Texas, offered information and insight on solar design, engineering, procurement and construction.
Other 黑料不打烊 staff members in attendance included Jeffrey Robinson, purchasing; Brian Shipp, physical facilities; Dr. Ernst Cebert, manager, Winfred Thomas Agricultural Research Station; Dr. Raziq Yaqub, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; and Jerome Saintjones, public relations.
Chimwedzi is embarking on an east campus solar farm that could provide a boost of electric energy for the bus charging station near the Physical Facilities area and across from the Mamie Labon Foster Complex.
