Signage
A brief description of the signage that highlights sustainability features on campus:
The south (of) campus walking trails have a variety of plaques in place which discuss flora, fauna, and conservation ecology of the area.
The campus Static and Tilt Photovoltaic Arrays have a 4-slide display system inside the energy program buillding, which shows the production of each array over the day and the month, a comparison of the two PV arrays, as well as a comparison of the total system production vs. the consumption of the building. This display is in the lobby of our new 38,744 square foot Agriculture and Clean Energy Technology center (ACET), which was completed in August of 2021.
