The solar hot water system will provide 50 percent or more of the hot water for the Campus Center. The system was made possible in part with a grant from Efficiency Maine, with funds from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. John Tumiel, special adviser to the president, Alethea Cariddi, sustainability coordinator, and Owen Grumbling, chair of the Department of Environmental Studies, were quoted in the stories.
