  • Sustainability

    When it comes to going green, Austin College is making some impressive strides. As an ACUPCC signatory, the college is committed to switching to 100 percent wind-generated commercial electricity during 2015. A newly constructed science building, the IDEA Center, has been awarded a Gold LEED certification. Dining services is also helping to lead the charge by purchasing locally when possible and serving delectable organic vegetables. Perhaps more importantly, Austin also strives to ensure that sustainability penetrates the consciousness of its undergrads. To begin with, the college asks all students enrolled in Intro to Environmental Studies to submit campus greening proposals. To date, over two dozen proposals have been implemented including battery recycling, composting of food prep waste, elimination of incandescent bulbs, cell phone recycling and installation of light colored roofs. The students also successfully passed a referendum to institute a student greening fee. The money is used to fund new initiatives. Of course, environmental studies students aren’t the only ones getting involved.
