Campus Green Energy Tour

Rob Hanson, energy manager at Carleton College, talking to two students in the geothermal space.

Curious about where Carleton gets its power—or how we're building a greener future right here on campus? Join us for the Energy Tour during Climate Action Week! We'll be visiting some of Carleton’s key renewable energy sites, including the iconic wind turbines and the geothermal systems beneath the Bald Spot and Mini Bald Spot.

You'll also learn about the solar thermal and solar PV systems powering our residential halls, and how they help weave sustainability into everyday campus life. Plus, we’ll make a stop at the old campus chimney—a striking symbol of our transition away from fossil fuels. Come explore how Carleton is putting climate action into motion, one energy innovation at a time!
