New campus plan aimed at 'green'-collar workers

Governor Carcieri and the New England Institute of Technology president are slated to unveil plans today for a new "green" campus and curriculum in East Greenwich aimed at meeting a need for "green"-collar workers.

Carcieri and Richard I. Gouse are scheduled to announce the plans at 10 a.m. at the former Brooks corporate headquarters building at 1408 Division Road, where the new campus will go. The college 's current campus is in Warwick.

The "green" curriculum will reflect the current trend interest in such environmentally-friendly technologies as wind turbines, for instance, said Phil Parsons of New England Technical Institute.
