2009 Solar Decathlon House to serve as K-12 Nature & Renewable Energy STEM Education Center

The 2009 Ohio State Solar Decathlon house was moved from an exhibit at the Columbus Zoo to the New Albany city school campus where it will serve as the K-12 Nature & Renewable Energy STEM Education Center.

Ohio State donated the net-zero energy building valued at $300,000 as part of a STEM education initiative.  The New Albany Community Foundation also received an $8,000 anonymous donation to cover the costs of moving the house to the New Albany campus. 

New Albany Schools say the 800-square-foot, self-contained building will serve as a learning center for New Albany students and the greater school community. The New Albany-Plain Local School District has more information online.
