  • Sustainability

    Affectionately referred to as the “jewel of the CUNY system,” Queens College might truly be the greenest gem in the thriving NYC borough of Queens. Committed to “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” this 87-acre suburban campus always has one eye on the future. Commitments to NYCPLA 2017 and the Governor of New York to reduce energy use are just parts of the longstanding college’s Campus 10 Year Sustainability Plan, which also entails a plan to be carbon neutral in thirty-five years. Unsurprisingly, green building is central. Mechanical upgrades, such as that for the new Science Building, are aimed at significantly reducing energy consumption—as is the design and construction of a Central Chiller Plant. It will grow from initially supplying HVAC to several science buildings to eventually covering the entire campus. The college has recently installed a number of rain gardens with permeable pavers which have eliminated a significant volume of stormwater per year from going directly into the combined sewer system. At Queens College, responsible transportation, recycling, and dining are all on the menu. In fact, the Pride of New York program promotes the sale of agricultural and food products grown and processed within New York State. Students are the cogs in the campus-wide green machine. The 300-strong Environmental Club organizes participation in projects such as “Cool Roofs,” where students volunteer to paint rooftops white to improve cooling efficiency. Academically, students can pursue bachelor’s degrees in environmental science and participate in sustainability research. Queens College’s motto is “We learn so that we may serve,” so why not serve green?
