THE GROUNDWORK

Work on the Hocking College Energy Institute is expected to commence soon. Hocking College was recently awarded a $1.6 million grant from the Economic Development Administration for the construction of an innovative learning facility near the Logan-Hocking Industrial Park in Hocking County. The Energy Institute will feature green building design aspects and hands-on learning labs for students studying in the college’s energy programs such as alternative energy, fuel cells, and vehicular hybrids. Anticipated opening date is Fall 2009.
