  • Sustainability

    When it comes to green construction, Emory excels: The university was responsible for the first LEED-EB Gold building in the U.S. and the first LEED-certified building in the Southeast, and not only is all new and future construction required to seek LEED Silver at minimum, many of the existing buildings are being retrofitted to incorporate green attributes. With all of the progress on the horizon, it’s hard to believe Emory already has among the highest number of square feet of LEED-certified space of any campus in America. The university has also set the impressive goal of serving 75 percent local or sustainable ingredients in campus and hospital cafeterias by 2015, and has hired a farmer to cultivate an organic farm to further integrate local and sustainable food production into the curriculum and the cafeterias. Emory was also named the Best Higher Education Institution by The Center for Green Schools in 2013. Emory’s bus fleet is 100 percent powered by a biodiesel blend made with used cooking oil from campus cafeterias. Emory’s Piedmont Project is a standout on campus, and was sparked by faculty concerned over the Atlanta area’s environmental problems. The Piedmont Project is an annual workshop for faculty and graduate students to foster cross-disciplinary discussion and develop sustainability curricula. Several new classes and modules have emerged from the workshop, and it is now a national model for teaching faculty how to incorporate sustainability into the classroom. Overall, sustainability-related courses are offered in forty-three departments across campus. Emory’s Career Center hosts panels on ecofriendly careers in its “Careers for the Common Good” series. In addition, the university holds an annual “Green Networking Night” for alumni and students to meet prospective “green” employers.
