Quinnipiac University Windspire Garden / Hamden, CT

Quinnipiac University is committed to building one of the most environmentally friendly campuses in America.  The 250-acre York Hill Campus will feature two major initiatives that use renewable energy sources to produce electricity and make the campus more sustainable; the Windspire Garden and a photovoltaic array. Centerbrook Architects and Jefferson B. Riley, the partner in charge, have worked with Quinnipiac to develop and implement a master plan for the university’s expansion over the past 30 years that, in addition to the York Hill Campus, has included a third campus in North Haven and more than 50 buildings and renovations on the Mount Carmel Campus in Hamden. The wind team at Alteris was contracted to install the project.
