LEAFhouse is a solar powered house that was UMD's submission to the 2007 US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The project placed first nationally and second out of all teams in addition to winning several awards, a crowning achievement for sustainability at UMD. To this day, LEAFhouse is located on the edge of campus under the ownership of AIA Potomac Valley. Unfortunately, there are currently plans to sell and move LEAFhouse off campus. If this happens, we would lose not just one of UMD’s crowning sustainable achievements, but also a space for community meetings, events, student projects, and inspiration that has served students for the past 15 years. We are in the process of recruiting more students, student groups, and faculty support to join us to help us in this endeavor. Our collective currently meets every Friday from 6pm to 7pm in ESJ2101 and virtually at  https://umd.zoom.us/j/ 96469771135
