  • Sustainability

    Connecticut College has ingrained a sustainability ethic into every aspect of campus life in a variety of ways. Students elect to pay a $25 sustainability fee that can be used to support various sustainability initiatives on campus. Other energy conservation efforts on campus include a 3-kilowatt solar panel installation on the roof of Park Residence Hall that generates 10 percent of the building’s energy needs. Additionally, a determined group of students and staff launched the Composting Program in 2011. This initiative allows the community to easily collect food scraps around campus and transform them into nutrient-rich compost. The college offers an ever-growing environmental studies degree and students can earn an interdisciplinary certificate through the Goodwin- Niering Center for the Environment and the Holleran Center for Public Policy and Community Action. Student organizations leading sustainability initiatives on campus include the Sprout Organic Garden Club, and SpokesPeople bicycle collective. Connecticut College has achieved an outstanding 31 percent waste-diversion rate thanks in part to its student-run composting program, which consists of two Earth Tubs— commercial-sized composting bins—that feature power mixing and aeration. The college recently completed the construction of its “new” cutting edge science center. The science center will combine a complete renovation of New London Hall, the first building constructed for the college in 1914, with an addition that will extend the existing building’s capacity for even more innovative science-related teaching and research. The building has achieved LEED Gold, based on its sustainable attributes, which includes a geothermal heating and cooling system. The college has an endowed grant program through which students can apply for funding to fast-track sustainability initiatives.
