  • Sustainability

    Though small, Haverford College is proving that it’s not the size that counts, but rather the idea and passion behind making a change. The Gardner Integrated Athletic Center was the first recreation center to achieve LEED Gold certification in the United States. Haverford students can plant and weed in the college’s expanding student garden, and study local flora in the on-campus arboretum. In fact, 30 percent of Haverford’s grounds are maintained organically, and the college has reached a 23 percent waste-diversion rate. Haverford has reduced the toxins flowing into the groundwater by switching to organic fertilizer and using porous salt, and by planting a living roof with sedum on three of its buildings. Haverford has a formal Sustainability Committee focused on reducing energy use, food composting, and emissions. Facilities Management has retrofitted 33 percent of the buildings on campus with new HVAC systems, windows, and insulation. Haverford offers a car share program, a bike program, a vanpool, and group transport to the other colleges in its consortium, so students don’t have to drive. Other environmental improvements are being made in the dining halls, where better recycling, pre- and post-consumer food composting, a new dishwashing machine, and biodegradable or reusable dishware are all making a difference. Two new residence halls, built to LEED Gold standards, are equipped with numerous green specifications including green roofs and high tech HVAC systems that are more efficient and decrease energy consumption. Impressively, 100 percent of the energy used on campus is powered by wind, ensuring that Haverford is indeed a place for pioneers.
