Campus

Sustainability on campus grew out of efforts to make our daily operations more environmentally sound. Our recycling program began in 1991, energy efficiency has been a hallmark of facilities for decades, and Dining Services is recognized for excellence nationally. The formation of the Office for Sustainability in 2009 was a logical next step to organize and support efforts that had been happening for years.

The 2010 Climate Action Plan, 2011 Campus Master Plan, and new purchasing policies have led to reductions in energy usage, the construction of innovative and efficient buildings, a reliance on native species for landscaping, and improvements in transportation options and availability. Evidence of stewardship and people who truly care about this special place can be found throughout campus operations.
