Three University of Montana students have teamed up to create a proposal to replace outdated lighting fixtures with sustainable, energy-saving versions in the University Center and campus recreation center. 
Their proposal is essentially a large upgrade project. 
“Basically what we’re doing is we’re taking the old, inefficient lights and we’re replacing them with LEDs,” said Ryan Cote, one of the students behind the plan. “Then we’re doing something called retrocommissioning, which is upgrading the systems, like heating, air conditioning, ventilation, that could be faltering.”
