Environmental Education Center in the Union

From Ecologic

This project arises out of our desire to recreate a space known as the EEC (Environmental Education Center) that was housed in Sage, but may now have an even more eco-tastic place in the Union. At the meeting a sign-up sheet went around for those interested in creating a whole new space.
