Columbia Gorge Community College’s Renewable Energy Technology (RET) program will host an open house on May 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. at its new home in the Fort Dalles Readiness & Workforce Innovations Center on The Dalles campus.
Ribbon cutting will take place at 5:30 p.m.
Tours of the state-of-the-art learning facility, hands-on demonstrations of equipment, and light refreshments and food will be offered.
The nationally-recognized RET program prepares students for technical positions in a variety of industries including renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and engineering.
The center meets Silver certification standards of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
The goal is to be a “net-zero” structure, ultimately producing as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year.
Design features include geothermal wells, natural materials for sound and thermal insulation, solar capacity, a “green roof,” and LED lighting for the workforce training area.
The RET program is accepting applications for Fall 2015. To learn more about the program and take a virtual tour, visit www.cgcc/ret.
