Gist Theater LED Retrofit Project will replace older 750 and 1000 watt tungsten theater lighting fixtures with modern low consumption pro LED theater fixtures. Currently, Gist Theater uses about 40-50 fixtures during any given production. LED fixtures use less than 80 percent of the energy and require less fixtures with their color-changing capabilities. Therefore, the LED Retrofit will replace 50 high-energy fixtures with 18 low-energy fixtures, creating an extreme energy-saving change.

This project provides LED lamps, autoswitching power strips, and socket timers to individual offices as a part of the Green Campus Green Workplace Assessment process, in order for the campus to gain actual kWh/year savings. This project was defunded in 2024 because small widgets such as LED desk lamps, power strips, and socket timers have not been used in many years and no longer align with campus needs and systems. 

This lighting LED retrofit in the Art Quad replaced all exterior canopy and wall pack light fixtures with LEDs in order to increase safety, lighting efficiency, and energy savings. The following buildings were included in this retrofit:Music A, Music B, Art A, Art B, Theater Arts, Siemens Hall

The project will replace HID lights in the fieldhouse with LED lamps including controls.

This project proposes updating theater lighting in the John Van Duzer Theater, as follows: replace stage lights with new color options, replace gallery fixed position and face light special lights, replace cyclorama lights and high sides, and cabling. Cost should not exceed $80k and the Theatre/Film/Dance department will coordinate the work.

The CCAT M.E.O.W. (Mobile Energy Operation Wagon or Mobile Energy On Wheels) is a trailer that currently resides in the CCAT driveway. Inside the trailer are four pedal-power bikes, four 12v batteries, and three solar panels on the top of the trailer powering the system. CCAT wants to use the M.E.O.W. to power small student-led projects/events, act as an emergency clean power generator in times of blackouts, and supply a space for students to charge phones, laptops, etc. while in use. Lastly, CCAT wants the M.E.O.W.
