Did you know... the Fisher Center for Performing Arts at Bard College is 100% geothermal?
The FisherCPA— designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003— uses a geothermal wellfield and heat pump plant to provide heating & cooling for the entire 100,000 ft2 facility.

The wellfield is comprised of 150 boreholes, each at 500ft deep, and acts as both a source and sink of renewable thermal energy.

Geothermal at Bard College:
Bard has been a leader and early adopter of heat pumps and geothermal, with systems going back to the late 1980’s.
  • Nearly 50% of the Main Campus building area (ft2) utilizes geothermal technology for heating and cooling, and it is the default for all new construction projects.
  • Over 40 buildings
  • Over 630 geothermal wells across campus, hidden beneath our feet.

For more information, call 845-464-8025, e-mail [email protected],

Time: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
