Cleveland’s dashboard, fed by the center’s own monitoring equipment, Lake Erie (USGS) and an EPA air quality station.

Who uses it

The Great Lakes Science Center is one of Community Hub’s ongoing implementations.
Its data comes from the center’s own monitoring equipment, Lake Erie (USGS) and an EPA air quality station in Cleveland.
The exhibit has a screen and a touch kiosk.
Cleveland’s version of the Citywide Dashboard runs there.

“The dashboard signage is stitching together the work of Cleveland organizations to make the team effort apparent”

Proposed starting steps

Oberlin’s citywide dashboard takes data each minute from the utility and the water and wastewater plants.
