Horace Mann's Gap Analysis

The bizarre and ridiculed SOPP created in 1981 is now viewed by a number of critics as a significant victory, twenty years later, due to the increase in violence and college rapes.

Two geothermal heating and cooling systems were included in the plan to generate enough energy for the entire school, including the new Wellness Center. Antioch College states it will be the first in the nation to produce almost 100% of its own power needs, from renewable energy. It is estimated that the project will save the college $500,000 in annual energy and upkeep costs. The combination of two geothermal systems and solar plant will supposedly save the college more than $15,000 million dollars over a thirty-year
