  • Sustainability

    Colorado College built the nation’s first LEED-certified science center in 2005, and hasn’t looked back since. For example, a 25-kilowatt solar PV array was installed on an apartment building, providing an on campus source for renewable energy (plans are in the works for large scale wind and solar projects). Recently another 35 kilowatts was installed as part of the Worner Student Center renovation. The college also looks to reduce its environmental impact through a UN Climate Crews Fellowship supported campus-wide, and a semester-long resource conservation and waste reduction campaign, “aCClimate 14,” which encourages students and staff to consider how they can improve economic and environmental conditions on campus. These are just the first steps towards the college’s aggressive goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2020, a plan including 30 percent reduction in existing building energy usage, along with a 20 percent reduction target through behavior change and conservation, and a strategy to derive 100 percent of electricity from renewable sources. The school features a one-acre community garden that provides the cafeteria with local, organic produce. Colorado College’s single-stream recycling and composting plan, diverts 500 tons of waste annually. Students play a key role in the school’s continuing commitment to sustainability; independent research is required of all environmental science and environmental policy majors and minors, and numerous on-campus sustainability internships focus on campus and regional sustainability issues. In addition, the State of the Rockies Project, which investigates solutions to local environmental issues through state-of-the-art research, fosters student experience and exposure to sustainability research.
