What was the deal with the fake solar panels? And could you further explain the controversy about Kahn and it's sustainability?
Kahn Hall was designed with modification in mind. Since the community in Kahn changes every year as a new class joins us on campus, the hope is that the building will continue to improve as time goes on. Even in the past year, students have installed the recycling and composting programs and the light switches in the public areas have been modified based on student initiatives.
When it comes to the installation on the roof, solar panels were originally planned not financially feasible by the end of initial construction, but are in mind for the future. The pieces currently on the roof are there to protect the structures that were created for the slated solar panels.
