    First university to generate all electrical power for campus

     

    Oregon Tech and Batzer Construction of Medford, Oregon, began the infrastructure and installation of a new 1.75 MW geothermal power plant at the Oregon Tech Klamath Falls campus this month. Completion of the project is expected in December 2013. The combination of the 2.0 MW solar array project with Solar City and the geothermal power plant project with Batzer allow Oregon Tech to become the first university in North America to reach a major goal to generate most — if not all — electrical power needed for the campus.

    "We believe that small changes make a big difference over time," says Mary Peterson, chair of the graduate department of clinical psychology at George Fox University in Newberg. "If you have an ocean liner and you shift your direction by just one or two degrees of latitude, you will end up in a very different place. It's the same with health care."

    A grant from the Yamhill CCO will place mental health consultants in primary care clinics.
