Solar panels to light the flags of Metro State, UCDHSC and CCD are among the solar projects recently added at Auraria.

Thanks to the Clean Energy Fee there is a new light on the Auraria Campus.

Solar lighting installations now light the institutional, state and national flags throughout campus. In addition, those with disabilities can chart a safer and easier route across campus thanks to solar lighting that illuminates the new Americans with Disabilities Act route signage on a number of campus buildings. Finally, solar-lit campus directory signs that feature an updated, easier-to-read map have been installed.

These and other “green” projects were recommended by the Clean Energy Subcommittee of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

The student Clean Energy Fee ended this spring and will be replaced in spring 2008 by the recently approved Sustainable Campus Program Fee (go to http://www.mscd.edu/~collcom/artman/
