The Small Wind Training and Testing Facility is location 10 on the tour. The following description also appears on the Story Map.

The Small Wind Training and Testing Facility (SWTTF) at JMU provides the primary resource in Virginia for training developers and installers of small wind power projects and other trades who support such efforts. The facility offers hands-on, experiential curriculum for all education levels (K-12, 2-yr, 4-yr), engages professionals who seek to enter the wind energy field, and provides an independent testing capability in the region. The SWTTF is organized by The JMU Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Energy (CASE), which focuses on research, education, and outreach to advance sustainable energy deployment by providing energy-related services to a wide variety of stakeholders including local governments, state agencies, landowners, non-governmental organizations, businesses, and academic communities.
