Sustainability
Long known for its academic excellence, Iowa’s Grinnell College distinguishes itself equally as a leader in college sustainability practices. The college has declared that the new buildings Grinnell constructs will be built to at least LEED Silver certification. Existing LEED certified buildings include an Athletic Center that collects runoff rainwater for recycling and geothermally heats and cools its facilities, a dining hall that composts all food and paper waste, and a Science Center with heat recovery laboratory exhaust systems and a rainwater-irrigated greenhouse. Grinnell residence halls provide single stream recycling containers for all renewable materials. One administrator adds that the college “has dedicated one of its student houses as an Ecohouse and will use that house to demonstrate green technologies, energy conservation, water conservation, and local foods to the Grinnell community.” Grinnell similarly offers a host of academic and extracurricular options for students interested in applied sustainability learning. Notably, the college’s Center for Prairie Studies coordinates the Grinnell Area Local Foods Alliance, takes advantage of Grinnell’s rich history in Iowa to cultivate unique, location-specific agricultural, historical, and public affairs internships for students, and connects students with environmental opportunities at local farms, foundations, and other sustainable organizations. Grinnell allows students to create dynamic and interdisciplinary academic concentrations in environmental studies, global development studies, and policy studies, all of which address sustainability issues.
