Redfield: Nevada’s future realized today
Since 2005, the Redfield Campus has served as a center of community collaboration, academic flexibility and adaptability for students and professionals, and as an emerging leader in discovering new solutions for meeting the state of Nevada’s renewable energy needs. The Redfield Campus is one of the nation’s most unique collaborative efforts in education and training, combining the resources of the University of Nevada, Reno, Truckee Meadows Community College, the Redfield Foundation and local businesses. In addition, as home to the Renewable Energy Center, the Redfield Campus is quickly becoming a research, education and outreach resource for geothermal and other renewable technologies for Nevada.
Located in south Reno along the Mt. Rose Highway, Redfield is situated in one of the fastest-growing areas in the region. Catering to the needs of the community and local business, Redfield Campus provides University credit courses across many disciplines, and offers professional development courses, certificate programs and training for those already in the workforce.
What they’re saying about Redfield
“I’ve visited the campus, and I was thoroughly impressed with the facilities. It is a very future-oriented campus, and the physical plant has been designed accordingly. A renewable energy center at Redfield is a good example of thinking about the future. I was also impressed by the facilities for medical training. The whole campus design inspires interaction between students, faculty and staff” – Christopher Simon, associate professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Reno and current Redfield researcher.
“Developing new energy sources is one of our most important national goals. We’ll need a national effort to become energy independent, but as usual Nevada is leading the way. (Projects such as the Redfield Campus) will help harness renewable energy sources so we can break our dependence on foreign oil. (Education initiatives such as Redfield) will eventually lead to lower energy costs for Nevadans, a cleaner environment, and stronger national security – and in the near future, it will create more jobs in our state” – Nevada U.S. Sen. Harry Reid.
