  • Sustainability

    The Big Green Goes Green is more than a slogan. Eco-awareness is spreading campus-wide with the help of the Dartmouth Trustees, who invested $12.5 million to support energy efficiency projects. The student-founded Sustainable Living Center offers a small number of students the chance to live in a model green dormitory for a term. The building features Green Lite, a technology that allows residents to track their resource use in real time. Dartmouth established a tenured faculty position in sustainability sciences, launched a sustainability minor and added new green courses to its existing offerings. The environmental studies program offers a foreign study experience in Southern Africa with sustainability as one of its themes. Dartmouth has made a commitment to sustainable buildings, and is home to several LEED Gold and Silver buildings. The new Class of ’78 Life Sciences Center, a state-of-the-art green laboratory building that is energy efficient, has storm water capture, green roofs and enthalpy wheels among many other green features. Dartmouth has an organic farm where students get hands on experience in sustainable food systems. There are seven major green student groups on campus, including The Big Green Bus, a group of students that travels across the country on a waste vegetable oil-powered bus educating citizens about the environment. Through internships in the Sustainability Office, students tackle challenges like increasing recycling rates and developing a bike share. Dartmouth’s career services office organizes trips to environmental career fairs, and students who want to work on sustainability on their own are encouraged to apply for grants and fellowships designated to the cause. Dartmouth is a member of the Founding Circle of the “Billion Dollar Green Challenge” which encourages the college and university community to invest in self-managed revolving funds that finance energy efficiency improvements.
