威尼斯人网上娱乐校友约翰·洛伦岑, BN ’77, AS ’77, and spouse Penney Fillmer challenged Drake University in late 2017 to increase its commitment to sustainable practices. 应对挑战, Drake’s Facilities Planning and Management team identified several projects that would reduce the University’s carbon footprint and save Drake more than $40,每年的能源费用为1万美元. 这些项目包括Knapp中心的新照明系统, 在校园内安装LED灯, 以及网球中心的太阳能电池板, 哪些计划在今年夏天安装. Thanks to a generous matching gift from the Lorentzen’s and support from 校友 and friends, 威尼斯人网上娱乐充分保证了使这些项目成为现实所需的资金. 这是共同愿景的结果, 威尼斯人网上娱乐离实现其碳减排目标又近了一步.
