The Illinois Green Economy Network is a consortium of all 39 Illinois community college districts, formed in 2008. IGEN's mission is to provide a platform for collaboration among all Illinois community colleges and their partners to drive growth of the green economy. The solar work stations provide wireless and wired charging for multiple devices, along with power outlets for other uses.
