  • Sustainability

    Suffolk University is home to a robust sustainability program, which includes a combination of high visibility and behind-the-scenes initiatives. Academically, this urban university offers approximately eighty classes that pertain to environmental topics in subjects such as environmental studies, environmental science and engineering, interior design, law, government, and public administration. Workshops at new student and employee orientations help raise awareness about campus environmental initiatives. The University, which has an award-winning recycling program, is striving to recycle at least half of its waste stream. Waste reduction is a high priority. Each year during move-out, students living in residence halls are encouraged to donate items such as books, clothes, and unopened food. This waste reduction initiative lightens the load for students, reduces trash hauling needs for the university, and benefits area non-profits. The on-campus cafes and bookstores offer incentives for customers who reduce waste, for instance, by using a travel mug or a reusable bag. Water bottle filling stations recently installed in several buildings are a popular amenity. They make it fast and easy to fill up reusable bottles with filtered tap water, and have already helped to avoid the use of thousands of disposable water bottles. In addition to waste reduction, the university has recently invested in receptacles that include sections for waste, mixed recycling, and composting, enabling café diners to recycle. The university also substantially increases its composting activity each successive academic year. Currently, the university is composting more than 80 tons of food scraps annually. The university has committed to achieving LEED Silver or higher for new building projects and major renovations. LEED-certified buildings on campus include the 10 West Residence Hall (Gold) and Modern Theatre (Silver).
