The McNally East rooftop solar project represents a key milestone in Saint Mary’s University's transformative $20 million investment in green technology and campus-wide energy efficiency. By converting classic institutional roof space into a modern generation site, this turnkey solar installation plays a vital role in advancing the university’s long-term sustainability and net-zero carbon goals.
During the tour, attendees will examine the engineering behind this rooftop array and discover how it works in tandem with Saint Mary's other landmark clean-energy installations, like the adjacent Loyola Residence BIPV facade. Guides will walk visitors through the project's interactive dashboard wall, exploring the critical design decisions, financial models, and operational considerations involved in executing a major campus retrofit. The stop wraps up with a visit to the dedicated inverter room to review the electrical distribution setup that converts direct current into usable power for the campus grid.
