Want to hear about transforming the Ford Center and historic Alberta Village into a living laboratory for climate-smart forests, smart infrastructure, clean energy, and resilient northern rural communities?

Michigan Tech’s Ford Center and Forest is a rare institutional asset: a historic village and working field station with year-round facilities and a large research forest. This brief proposes a practical, phased transformation - Net-Zero Alberta - that makes the site a high-visibility platform for the entire University. Net-Zero Alberta will elevate the Ford Center’s existing strengths in forestry and environmental research while expanding its role as a campus-scale testbed for engineering, computing, social sciences, business, and policy - supporting innovation that matters to northern rural places: cold-climate heating, reliability, affordability, and working-lands stewardship.
