Ohio Wesleyan Invites Public to Tour its First ‘Green’ Building: The Meek Aquatics and Recreation Center
The Delaware, Ohio community was eager to tour Ohio Wesleyan University’s new Meek Aquatics and Recreation Center during a public open house on October 30. This facility features a geothermal energy system that heats and cools the building and a heat-recovery system that heats the pool. Ohio Wesleyan’s first “green” building also features a reflective clay-tile roof as well as recycled, regional, and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) building materials. Student videographer/producer Christina Fesz ’12 captured highlights from the event, including tours explaining the geothermal system.
