AURORA | A new trade school focused entirely on renewable energy, sustainable design and “green” technology welcomed about 200 students to its new, 62,000-square-foot campus in Aurora this week.
Less than a year after the Ecotech Institute opened its first classes in a temporary facility off East Iliff Avenue, officials welcomed new and returning students to its permanent home at 1400 S. Abilene St.
Classes started Monday at the campus near East Mississippi Avenue and Interstate 225, a building that boasts photovoltaic solar panels and wind turbines on the roof, “solar trees” in the parking lot and motion-triggered lighting systems in the classrooms.
