(Champaign, IL) — Construction is underway to build a solar farm at the University of Illinois. “The News-Gazette” reports a 20-point-eight-acre field of solar panels is being built on a site south of Windsor Road and West of First Street. California-based Phoenix Solar is designing, building and operating the farm for the first ten years before handing it over to the university. It is expected to provide two-percent of the electricity on campus when it’s up and running.
