The goals of Krannert Center for the Performing Arts' solar array project-installed on approximately 20,000 square feet of the Center's roof/plaza area-are to yield significant energy savings (an estimated 13%), increase awareness of the Student Sustainability Committee's efforts, position the Center as a national model
for performing arts sustainability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to inspire and motivate individuals to reduce their individual "footprints" through education and by example. The project total cost is estimated at $800,000 and there is an anticipated 3:1 matching grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). SSC is interested in funding the conceptualization phase of this proposal in order to make this project a reality. One hundred thousand dollars has been awarded in order to complete this phase.
