      1. Posvar Hall Solar Tables

        Two solar picnic tables were installed on Posvar Hall’s Patio in November 2022. The tables use solar energy to power ports where visitors can charge their laptops, phones and other electronic devices while enjoying the nearby pollinator gardens. The project was spearheaded by students enrolled in the Geology 1333: Sustainability course (taught by Ward Allebach). The project is one of many across campus funded by The Pitt Green Fund and the Office of Sustainability.

        Additional solar panels can be found on various buildings across the Pitt campus.
