  • Sustainability

    Louisiana State University—Baton Rouge is committed to the issues of sustainability on campus, and its Campus Committee for Sustainability (CCS) is leading the charge. Campus Sustainability’s full-time Assistant Director and Manager of Campus Sustainability are responsible for promoting public awareness of LSU’s sustainability efforts and working with on-campus services, faculty, and students to meet the university’s goals. LSU has focused its efforts on developing programs that reduce the number of vehicles on campus, including a Bus Service Study, restricted parking, a guaranteed ride home program, and a bike share/rent program, as well as providing two free electric vehicle charging stations for student, faculty and staff use. Seventy percent of all campus grounds are managed organically and all building upgrades must meet energy performance standards beyond code requirements, which include the use of Energy Star appliances. Strict new guidelines are being developed for all new construction and renovations, and a minimum of 50 percent of all construction waste must be recycled. Forty-four percent of food expenditures are directed toward local, organic, or otherwise environmentally-responsible food. Students can work on sustainability research projects and volunteering in student-run organizations such as the Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO@LSU), a grassroots student group that works to improve the quality of life and environmental health on campus and in the Baton Rouge community. Students can opt to make the environment and issues of sustainability a formal focus of their studies by taking advantage of course offerings in areas such as agriculture, architecture, biology, environmental science, engineering, and geography
