The K-12 Green Schools Committee, have been presented with an opportunity with Mike Winston, and would like to know if you have interest in helping with the project or have any ideas on how to help Mike Winston, his students, and the project they are working on. He has expressed a lot of interest in working with the USGBC so we set up this meeting to vet his project before we submit anything to Board. Please RSVP to Candess Packard at cparchitecture@gmail.com you are going to attend so we can make sure we have enough room.
Thanks.

We would really appreciate your attendance.
Project Background
Description:
Mike and his students have 20 acres of land that they are developing into a educational facility. To date, they have a one-room school museum / classroom, barn, general store, 3 log cabins, restrooms, and experimental farm, etc.
Aspects:
1. The building that they want designed and built is called, “The Energy Center.”
2. The energy center and the other energy – related components will make up the technology center.
