Solar Energy International in Carbondale has a new green place to call home.

The nonprofit solar trainer and renewable energy educator has moved from its Second Street location it shared with KDNK Community Access Radio to new offices in Carbondale at the Third Street Center, an eco-friendly facility renovated from the former Carbondale Elementary School building.

The Third Street Center is home to more than 30 nonprofit organizations and artist studios.

“SEI is thrilled to become a member of the Third Street Center nonprofit community,” said Tresi Houpt, SEI executive director. “Our new offices greatly complement our SEI training campus in Paonia and will allow us to better serve our students.”

SEI’s renovated space, previously two classrooms in the former elementary school just off the facility’s Round Room, features architectural design by Carbondale architect and SEI board member Jeff Dickinson and his associate Angela Loughry of Energy and Sustainable Design, Inc. Interior woodworking was handled by Terralink Structures’ Keith Brand, an SEI alumnus who served as the project’s general contractor; interior design work was by Andi Korber of Land + Shelter along with future SEI alumna.

“The SEI solar educational staff is delighted to call the Third Street Center our new Carbondale home,” said Johnny Weiss, SEI co-founder. “We look forward to being a part of this recycled, vibrant community building and fun-happening place.”
