  • Sustainability

    A forward-looker in developing campus sustainability, Framingham State University (formerly Framingham State College) has implemented significant green updates through its annual Climate Action Plan (CAP). The university-wide Plan prides itself on several major achievements: the university converted its power plant supply from oil to natural gas, decreasing its carbon footprint by 30 percent, increased its renewable power supply from less than 1 percent to almost 18 percent, constructed a single-stream recycling system and fully compostable dining area to divert 30 percent of waste, and restructured its course blocks to decrease commuting days for students and faculty. The Environmental Forum is FSU’s official sustainability organization, and includes students, faculty, staff, and administration. FSU is far from finished in making sustainable updates to the campus: a whopping 75 percent of campus buildings have undergone energy-efficient retrofits or renovations in the last three years, 15 percent of buildings are LEED-certified, and campus buildings are submetered for electricity and water monitoring. Also, FSU just opened a new high-rise residence hall that obtained LEED Gold certification. Another residence hall financed through “Green Bonds” is scheduled to begin construction in Spring 2015.The school upholds a green cleaning policy, reporting 90 percent of cleaning products as Green Seal-certified, and maintains environmental performance standards for all campus materials. For students, environmental campus groups include the Green Team and an Environmental Science Club, whose key objective is to assist in implementing the CAP and promote other sustainable practices. The environmental science Interdisciplinary major includes ten departments, and the geography department also has an environmental studies concentration; Introduction to Environmental Studies is a mandatory course structured around these topics.
