Sustainability Education in Sports Venues: The Sonnentag Event Center Permanently installed in the lobby, the Sonnentag Sustainability Display at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire transforms complex building performance data into an interactive educational experience that engages athletes, students, spectators, and visitors alike. Athletic facilities are uniquely positioned to lead in sustainability education, and this project demonstrates just that. Sports and Event Venues yield high foot traffic, diverse audiences, and community visibility making them ideal settings for this kind of creative, integrative approach— ✅ Meeting people where they are ✅ Using innovative technology to spark curiosity ✅ Embedding learning into the built environment itself Our team at GCG developed the educational content strategy alongside Seven Mile Media, Backpack, IMEG, Ayres Associates, Inc., and Stok to make building systems understandable, support academic curriculum, highlight the project's Net Zero Goals and contribute to LEED Gold certification.

Thrilled to see this installation come to life! 🌱 Our team at GCG was proud to develop the educational content strategy for the Sonnentag Sustainability Display at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire — and this project perfectly exemplifies why green building education matters.   Working alongside the talented teams at Seven Mile Media, Backpack, Ayres Associates, Inc., and Stok, we crafted educational content that: ✅ Makes geothermal, solar, and building automation systems understandable for diverse audiences ✅ Supports UWEC's academic curriculum across multiple disciplines  ✅ Tells the building's sustainability story in real-time  ✅ Contributed to the project's LEED Gold certification This is the kind of creative, integrative approach that makes green building education impactful— meeting people where they are, using innovative technology to spark curiosity, and embedding learning into the built environment itself. When we design buildings to teach, we create ripple effects far beyond energy savings.⚡   Congrats to everyone involved in bringing this vision to reality!
