Building Plans for Cleantech Innovation Centre Unveiled
Plans for the Cleantech Park in Georgetown, which include the Cleantech Innovation Centre (CIC), were made public today.
CIC will house the Cleantech Academy, a joint initiative between Holland College and UPEI. Students will work collaboratively with local industry to develop cutting-edge environmental solutions that can be brought to market.
Early design plans include net-zero ready elements. Demonstrating the province’s commitment to carbon sequestering, the building will use an exposed timber structural system. It will be as airtight as possible, reducing the amount of energy used by the building with passive solar windows, along with planted and reflective roof surfaces.
