  • Sustainability

    If you want to study sustainability and policy in an urban setting, The George Washington University is the place to be. Located just blocks from the White House, GW is taking sustainability to a new level. Starting in January 2015, the university will receive power from a solar plant it has constructed with the Capital Partners Solar Project. By 2016 the university will get 50 percent of its electricity from three solar farms. The first LEED Platinum-certified university building in Washington DC opened on GW’s campus in Fall 2014, GW’s Milken Institute School of Public Health. And the university has eleven LEED Gold buildings on campus, including residence halls. South Hall marries luxury and green living boasting suite-style accommodations with a washer and dryer in every unit (Energy Star-rated, of course), common living spaces accented with climate- neutral carpet tiles, and two private bathrooms fully equipped with low-flow plumbing fixtures, the residence is a model of green building practices and just plain old good livin’. GW also has a green roof overlooking the nation’s capitol and an array of solar panels used to heat hot water for the residents in the building. But GW’s most impressive green feat has to be in the classroom. Students in disciplines across the university can minor in sustainability together. The university registrar boasts a diverse roster of more than 100 courses on sustainability in disciplines that truly run the gamut, from the usual suspects like environmental and resource policy and geological sciences to the unexpected, like anthropology and religion. The university’s commitment to addressing public policy extends to the Federal community through events on campus with Presidential cabinet members and Congressional delegates on topics ranging from sustainability and nutrition to climate change and national security.
