Dell Piloting Sustainable Living Facility On Its Texas Headquarters

By TechTaffy Desk

Dell

Dell is piloting a team member garden and sustainable living facility on its global headquarters campus. The Dell Eco-Learning Center, launched in conjunction with Earth Day 2013, will highlight sustainable landscaping and food cultivation, and serve as a gathering place for team member fitness activities and seminars on healthy eating, says the company.

The Dell Eco-Learning Center was championed by Central Texas team member Jacque Barton, who last year won a ‘Powering the Possible’ contest for the project by demonstrating how it puts Dell expertise to work where it can do good for people and the planet.
