  • Sustainability

    In 2007, Kennesaw State University (KSU) signed the ACUPCC. They’ve been on the green mile ever since. Also signatories of the Talloires Declaration and members of the AASHE, a quarter of the buildings on campus have undergone energy related retrofits. KSU’s Social Sciences building is LEED Silver; KSU’s Commons Dining Hall and the Prillaman Health Sciences Building are LEED Gold. The dining hall’s sustainability features include composting, trayless dining, and local food purchasing. Gray water from the Central Parking Deck and other locations is being used for watering campus landscaping. Other sustainability efforts on campus include alternative transportation initiatives, installing motion detectors for lighting in classrooms and meeting places, and increasing the use of recycled efforts on campus—facilitated through KSU’s commingled recyclables policy. The university has an undergraduate degree program with emphasis in environmental science or environmental policy within KSU’s existing interdisciplinary studies program. The College of Science and Mathematics received a $125,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation to establish its “Sustainable Homes: Building ’Smarter’ Houses Today for a Better Tomorrow” project. “PEAK”: Progressive Environmental Alliance at Kennesaw seeks to educate students and faculty on sustainability issues while making progress in the overall cause. KSU clearly believes sustainability and education are inseparable—it has named a campus Director of Sustainability—a member of the Biology Department—who will oversee the university's “green” initiatives and teach students as a member of the faculty.
