  • Sustainability

    Rochester Institute of Technology is known for being on the cutting edge of innovation. The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute is headquartered at RIT. The institute founded the Golisano Institute for Sustainability, which is committed to advancing education and research in sustainability. RIT’s Committee for Sustainable Practices was established to advise the campus on environmental issues, policies, procedures, and curricular activities, and to partner with public officials and local environmental groups on sustainability initiatives. RIT’s president, William Destler, has signed the ACUPCC, ensuring that the institute will have a formal plan for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions on campus. To further these efforts, RIT has determined that all new construction projects will seek, at minimum, LEED Silver. There are currently two projects seeking LEED Gold, one seeking LEED Silver, and The Golisano Institute for Sustainability is seeking LEED Platinum. These are in addition to the College of Applied Science and Technology LEED Gold building and the University Services Center LEED Platinum building already on campus. RIT has also put together a $38 million heating and cooling plant replacement project that will go a long way toward reducing campus emissions and improving overall energy efficiency. Lastly, RIT has taken sustainability to a new height as solar panels developed in RIT’s labs were launched on the final mission of the space shuttle.
