“Seminole Boosters are excited to work with the BYOSolar team in supporting the advancement of technology, innovation and sustainability,” said Mike Alford, CEO of Seminole Boosters, the fundraising arm of Florida State University Athletics.

Florida State University has a long tradition of supporting technology, innovation, and sustainability.

The building is a graduate-style flat with an office that serves as an energy-efficient model and prototype for developing and implementing cutting-edge, alternative energy technologies.

“We’re thrilled to work with the BYOSolar team on this unique relationship to support Florida State Athletics,” says Caleb Swann, general manager for LEARFIELD’s Seminole Sports Properties, FSU Athletics’ multimedia rightsholder. “While supporting FSU, the BYOSolar sponsorship will showcase the significant advantage clean energy can provide to fans across the Sunshine State and throughout the region.”
