SUNY Adirondack, as part of the State
\nUniversity of New York’s Green Initiative, is
\noff the electrical grid, at least when it comes
\nto providing solar lighting for a portion of its
\nsouth parking lot, college officials said.<\/p>\n
The college’s facilities staff, under the
\ndesign and direction of Assistant Director of
\nFacilities Frank Jelley, built and installed a
\nsolar lighting project to illuminate a section
\nof the south parking lot near the soccer field
\nat its Queensbury campus.<\/p>\n
The lights were acquired by Facilities Director
\nAnthony Palangi.
\nSeven lights were installed, and the lighting
\npattern covers approximately 21,000 square
\nfeet. The project is completely off the grid
\nand no underground utilities were required,
\naccording to officials.<\/p>\n
The project cost approximately $53,500,
\nwhich went mostly for materials. But Jelley
\nsaid the college saved almost $45,000 by
\nprocuring the solar lights through New York
\nstate contract and designing and installing the
\nproject in-house.<\/p>\n
Plans call for more such lights to be installed
\nas funds become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
