Columbia Gorge Discovery Center


The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center’s Solar Demonstration Project was developed by Columbia Gorge Community College students enrolled in the Renewable Energy Technology Program. Funded by Google and Bonneville Environmental Foundation, the project is designed to engage visitors in learning about alternative energy. Education and interpretation related to energy production helps the Discovery Center meet its mission to inspire appreciation and stewardship of the environment for future generations.
