Randolph Community College Becomes First Community College to Join Better Buildings Challenge

Randolph Community College is the first community college in North Carolina to become a Challenge Partner in the Better Buildings Challenge of the U.S. Department of Energy through the North Carolina Energy Office (NCEO). Launched by President Obama in December 2011, the Better Buildings Challenge calls on chief executive officers, university presidents, and state and local leaders to create American jobs through building energy efficiency.
          
Three officials from the North Carolina Energy Office visited RCC on Oct. 30 to watch RCC President Robert S. Shackleford sign the agreement, in which RCC pledges a commitment to “implement plans to achieve lasting energy savings, improve our environment, and reduce our dependency on foreign oil.”
