Sustainability at UM: Solar Over the Parking Garage
Join us to explore the future of sustainability at the University of Montana! Our quiz dives into the critical proposal to install solar panels over the parking garage, a project that promises to enhance campus sustainability while saving millions in electricity costs.
Share your thoughts and help us understand community sentiment on this vital initiative:
- Should UM revisit the scrapped solar project?
- Do you support solar energy on campus?
- What are your ideas for improving sustainability at UM?
The Associated Students of the University of Montana proposed a project in 2015 to increase UM's sustainability measures that included installing solar panels over the parking garage behind the library. This would decrease the school's carbon dependency and was also projected to save millions of dollars every year in electricity costs. However, with the school needing to make hard financial choices to protect the continued well-being of the campus, one of the budget cuts made funding for this project negligent, effectively sidelining this project. Since then, no substantial effort towards the project has been sustained and the parking garage remains unchanged.
