To get off the ground, GTC received slightly more than $70,000 in seed money from the provost's office at the start of this calendar year.
Initial plans for the initiative call for receipt of a significant sum of money at the program start next year and for the next few years to fund the initiatives initial activities. GTC is looking to not only receive funds from the University but from external grants.
However, the plan hopes to be self funding within five years, using part of the savings achieved by the environmentally friendly renovations to pay for continuing operations.
