“This is an opportunity to see what we do first-hand and ask questions. Whether you are someone who already practices sustainable living, or someone who is curious about it or just always wondered what the heck happens on our campus, we hope you’ll join us,” Executive Director Quinn Swanson said in a news release.
In the Mani (Manifesting) Shop, visitors will see the latest innovation for heating, HUG Hydronics, and get an up-close tour of the system. The designers will be available for questions.
"One of the best parts of my job is seeing the eyes light up of folks who take a tour. When they see the research campus we built, from the gardens to the buildings to the art to the provocatively clever engineering, I beam with pride and we're eager to show it off," Hunt Utilities Group President Ryan Hunt said in the news release.
Hunt Utilities Group Resilient Living Campus is located at 2331 Dancing Wind Road SW in Pine River. The free event is for all ages and no RSVP is required.
