Last week the kindergartners and Lower Elementary took a tour of the new Miami University geothermal energy plant. The plant supplies all the heating and cooling for all the new buildings on Western Campus using geothermal technology.
The building has been designed with an eye toward education, with huge glass windows and color-coded pipes. Students had a great time guessing what each color represented, and asked questions about how many miles of pipe there were and how many units the power plant serves. They also got to see the green roof on top of the building.
Special thanks to Larry Davidson and his team for taking the time to give our students a tour of their facility. We’re so lucky to have this opportunity right here in our community!
