  • Sustainability

    Students who attend Marquette University will find opportunities to engage and support environmental sustainability throughout campus, from the classroom to their dorm room and everywhere in between. Sustainability has been integrated throughout the university’s curriculum, including an interdisciplinary minor in environmental ethics through the college of Arts and Sciences, an established chair in secure and renewable energy systems in the College of Engineering, and water law courses offered by Marquette Law School. Sustainability is also promoted through numerous student groups, including Students for an Environmentally Active Campus (SEAC). Students can also take advantage of alternative transportation as all full-time undergraduates receive a pass providing unlimited rides on Milwaukee County buses, and the university offers a car share program. Marquette has invested $7 million to improve its energy efficiency and water systems, reducing annual energy use by more than 1.5 million kilowatt hours and annual water consumption by about 13.5 million gallons. Meanwhile, excess steam from the local power company provides 90 percent of the heating on campus. The university also implemented single-stream recycling and has a 30 percent waste-diversion rate. Marquette University is also a member of the USGBC. In the past few years, Marquette has had two new buildings and a renovated building become LEED-certified and is currently seeking certification on two additional projects.
