The Michigan Solar House (MiSo) is an innovative 660-square foot, solar-powered home collaboratively designed and built by a team of students and faculty from U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning for the 2005 Solar Decathlon in Washington DC. Now located across from the Gaffield Children’s Garden, MiSo fosters public awareness in energy efficient solar technology in housing and serves as an ongoing full-scale laboratory for ongoing research. Volunteers will be trained to greet and guide visitors to points of interest in the house on weekends, May–October. Presented by U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum.
