Thayer Street Housing

A LEED Silver certified student housing facility in the heart of Brown University campus, powered by solar energy.

Gilbane Development Company has been creating and implementing successful real estate projects for public, private and non-profit clients throughout the United States for four decades. The 240-panel array was installed atop the four-story apartment complex, and turned online in August 2015. The solar array is expected to generate 78,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, providing 11% of the facilities annual electricity consumption. The system will offset the equivalent of 60.4 tons of carbon dioxide annually, and generate enough clean energy to power 5.8 homes each year.
