Over the past year and a half, members of the Babson Energy and Environmental Club collaborated with the school's Facilities Management and Planning office to create a feasibility study to evaluate the potential of utilizing wind power on the Babson campus. This work culminated into a formal proposal, submitted on behalf of the Babson Energy and Environmental Club, that recommended an installation plan for a small, residential scale wind turbine as a demonstration project. The proposed wind turbine intends to accomplish the following four specific goals while limiting financial and visual impacts:

• Develop Babson’s relationship with the rapidly expanding and entrepreneurial cleantech industry.
• Demonstrate Babson’s commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.
• Build support for past, current, and future sustainability initiatives at Babson.
• Inspire Babson students to explore alternative energy business endeavors.

The proposal was put forth through the support of the Babson Energy and Environmental Club and the school's student body. Project recommendations were officially approved at the close of the Fall 2007 semester and Babson will be moving forward with the on-campus installation over the coming months.

More information about the project can be found through the Babson College newsroom.

Babson's turbine installation will be completed by SolarWrights, Inc. To watch a video of one of the company's previous installations featuring the specific turbine model that Babson will install (Skystream 3.7), click here.

Please join Babson in celebrating this partnership between the school's administration and the student body during a public groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for 10:00 AM on March 27th. Among other distingusihed guests, State Representative Alice Peisch will offer a keynote address during the ceremony.
