  • Sustainability

    It’s all about the build at Drexel University. Drexel has become the first university in the country to require the use of Green Globes independent environmental impact monitoring software for all new construction projects. The LEED Gold-certified Constantine N. Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building (ISB) is home to North America’s largest living biofiler wall: a five-story living wall of vegetation through which air intakes and outputs are filtered, with the goal of improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The Recreation Center is the first building in Philadelphia to have total storm water management, collecting and using rainwater in the building’s toilets. The ISB, the Recreation Center, and the new home of the LeBow College of Business all received a rating of three Green Globes from the Green Building Initiative. Millennium Hall, a $42 million residence hall, spans seventeen stories and 102,680 square feet, and incorporates many sustainability-focused features, including a green roof. Drexel has also committed to purchasing 100 percent renewable wind and solar energy to offset its electric energy use, reducing the university’s operations carbon footprint by 81 percent. Hydration stations, designed to encourage members of the Drexel community to fill reusable containers instead of using bottled water, are plentiful on campus, with more on the way. Up to thirty percent of food expenditures go toward local or organic food, and the school boasts an overall waste-diversion rate of 33 percent. Drexel offers plenty of environmentally focused programs, including environmental policy, environmental science and environmental engineering. Student initiatives include the Smart House, a project to renovate an urban home that will serve as a “living laboratory” for exploring sustainable design and technology. The Steinbright Career Development Center assists in placing students into co-op jobs based on their education program and career interests.
