Moving the PNC SmartHome
Northeast Ohio's first house built without a furnace and designed to meet passive house standards is slated to move from its temporary exhibit site on the grounds of the Museum to its permanent location at 11601 Wade Park Avenue, Cleveland, on October 24, 2011, beginning at 9:00 a.m. AA House Movers will move the SmartHome less than a mile to its permanent lot. The move is expected to take one working day, with the home's anticipated arrival at the site
before 5:00 p.m.
The SmartHome will be transported slowly – approximately 3 to 4 miles per hour – through the streets of University Circle. As the home is moved, utility crews will work to move and modify electrical, cable, telephone and fiber optic wires. One traffic signal at E. 115th Street and Wade Park Avenue will be moved. Parking along the route will be closed until after the SmartHome passes various sections of the route. Heavy rains or lightning may cause the move to be rescheduled.
