The Lake Land College Board of Trustees accepted a one-year, $15,000 grant earlier this year from the Illinois Green Economy Network (IGEN) Membership grant program to upgrade lighting fixtures across campus.

The grant funding was used for campus lighting fixtures located on campus parking lots and roadways. Several damaged fixtures were replaced to increase campus safety and functionality. An additional nine fixtures were upgraded with fully-functioning LED lighting, advancing Lake Land’s long-time commitment to sustainability.

The IGEN Membership grants were established to provide funds to IGEN community college members to support activities, programs and projects related to energy efficiency and renewable energy.

More information about IGEN and its grant programs are available at the IGEN website at IGENCC.org.
