Recent campus construction has allowed for the addition of 46,000 square feet of solar paneling on seven additional buildings (Edison Science Building, Howard Hall, the Multipurpose Activity Center, Elmwood Hall, Magill Commons, McAllan Hall, and the Plangere Center), doubling the previous amount and securing us as a leader in solar energy usage both regionally and nationally.<\/li>\n<li>The majority of academic buildings on campus are fitted for solar paneling, ensuring better efficiency and effectiveness as Monmouth continues its green initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"aligncenter keepwidth\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2018\/05\/Solar-Map.jpg\" alt=\"Solar Panel Map\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The majority of academic buildings on campus are fitted for solar paneling, ensuring better efficiency and effectiveness as Monmouth continues its green initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To cultivate renewable energy, Monmouth employs solar paneling on many of its buildings, as seen above on Bey Hall.
