WCROC Administration Building Remodel & Renewable Energy Addition
The University of Minnesota and the West Central Research and Outreach Center are committed to all aspects of renewable energy and sustainable living. During the 2008 legislative session, the West Central Research and Outreach Center's Renewable Energy Building Addition received funding from the state legislature and was completed in the summer of 2010. This project was intended to be a model for sustainable building design, demonstrate renewable energy technologies and obtain a LEED Silver Certification.
