University of Utah to Install Solar Ivy Funding has been approved through the University's Sustainable Campus Initiative to install Solar Ivy on the south-facing facade of the Orson Spencer Hall building.
Each year Utah's Campus Sustainability Initiative Fund takes proposal submissions from students for projects that can help reduce the University's dependence on fossil fuels. Tom Melburn, a student from the university, reached out to SMIT in January to explore the possibility of developing a proposal to install Solar Ivy on one of their buildings. The proposal was accepted on April 15.
The Campus Sustainability Initiative Fund and the University's Office of Sustainability will collaborate with SMIT on the installation at Orson Spencer Hall, above. Check back in here to see how the project progresses. We will be sure to provide updates as we reach major milestones.
