  • Sustainability

    Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania has been built on a sustainability ethic since 1889, when citizens of the region, along with students and staff, developed a self-sufficient farm community. That commitment to sustainable practices continues today through a myriad of green initiatives, committees and environmental centers on campus. For instance, the Robert A. Macoskey Center for Sustainable Systems Education and Research allows faculty and students to work together to educate, demonstrate, and research sustainable practices and technologies. An ACUPCC signatory, the university has developed a Climate Action Plan and ensured that all new construction projects will seek LEED certification standards or better. SRU has improved its campus energy efficiency by 45 percent, avoided more than $1 million dollars in fossil fuel costs, and reduced its net greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent since 2005. While the administration is leading the sustainability charge, the students are highly active as well. Student groups have developed a Green Bike Initiative that provides bikes in order to “promote a healthy lifestyle through cycling while minimizing petroleum based transportation and parking problems within the Slippery Rock Community.” Students have also fueled the university’s participation in RecycleMania and the development of a Sustainable Enterprise Accelerator. Students fortunate enough to live in the new $140 million Residence Village enjoy the comfort of a LEED-certified home boasting energy-efficient heating and air conditioning and dozens of large energy-efficient windows for plenty of natural light.
