Partners
Contributing Institutions
When the Green Cloud project was set in motion, a number of institutions assisted in the design and production of the initial prototype and continue to provide support in the Cloud's ongoing development.
From donating equipment to hosting the project, each of these institutions has played a role in bringing the Green Cloud to life.

Botanical Society of South Bend The Botanical Society is partnered with the Green Cloud staff in running the initial iteration of the Cloud at the Ella Morris Conservatory, located in South Bend, Indiana. The heat from the cluster is used to heat a large portion of the conservatory, and it marks the first real-world example of grid heating in action. |
