Against The Odds, College Finds Route To Energy Upgrade
The college, located about an hour south of the Twin Cities, was looking to upgrade its physical plant and related energy facilities. Then last spring, in the middle of the planning process, the college was severely damaged by a tornado. The unexpected disaster challenged the facilities staff to press on with their energy improvements despite widespread property damage.
The result was a solution that both met the college's original ambition while preparing for the eventual arrival of electricity deregulation.
