Predesign/Scoping
for an Integrated Systems-Based Development
for Research
at UMore Park:
The Center for Rural Design and the Center for Sustainable Building
Research will prepare a predesign/scoping effort, along with interested
University faculty and selected development consultants, and work with the
UMore Park Management Team to determine the feasibility of the University
designing, building, evaluating, marketing and using an integrated
systems-based development for research at UMore Park in the Research
Village Precinct. The development is envisioned as being a
hydrogen-based, energy self-sufficient community containing residential,
retail, office, and research laboratories of various types connected to a
centralized power plant with energy resources from solar, wind power, and
biomass. The planning would build upon other of the University's
Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment (IREE) supported
energy research, and represent a major University opportunity for UMore
Park.
