Parking Lot E37 (near the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center and Natural History Survey) currently lacks sufficient lighting to meet minimum light requirements, but unfortunately is located in a low-priority area located away from current electrical access. The use of standalone solarpowered lights for parking is an innovative solution that allows the system to remain off-grid while improving illumination for the lots - which in turn improves campus safety. There are currently no other universities in Illinois utilizing solar-powered parking lot lighting, allowing the University of Illinois to lead the way in one aspect of sustainability.

This proposal directly funds:
1. The light poles themselves
2. Labor for installation
3. Scope development and other Facilities and Services costs.
