Client Profile

The Emerson Center for Arts and Culture has been an important community and business institution in Bozeman since its formation in 1992. Originally a school built in 1916, the expansive facility is home to scores of artists, galleries, fine dining, small businesses, event spaces, and the 727 seat Crawford theatre. Tim Crawford, a long time supporter of The Emerson, and a local leader in renewable energy, spearheaded a project to add a large scale solar array onto the building’s rooftop. Through a generous contribution from Mr. Crawford’s own Pheasant Farms, LLC, initial development of the Emerson solar array got under way in May of 2014.
