  • Sustainability

    The University of Cincinnati takes its role as an environmental steward seriously, incorporating the idea of sustainability throughout university operations and classrooms. As a signatory of the ACUPCC, UC is working to reduce its environmental footprint with the ultimate goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. The campus boasts one LEED Gold, one LEED Silver, and four LEED-certified buildings with all new construction buildings on campus required to seek LEED Silver. UC continues to examine building performance while investing $28 million in energy efficiency improvements. As an urban university, UC is also specifically interested in studying sustainability issues in an urban context—creating the Center for Sustaining the Urban Environment to conduct research and develop innovative solutions in this area. UC’s sustainability efforts do not stop at building and research, but extend into areas such as campus life, food, transportation, and recycling. A campus garden provides hands-on education in sustainable agriculture, and a newly expanded campus bike share and new on-campus bike shop (“Bearcat Bike Share” and “Bike Kitchen”) allow anyone to check out a bike for free and have easy access to repairs if necessary. Campus dining offers vegetarian and vegan options, and purchases local produce whenever possible. Recycling is provided in all buildings and at all large events on campus. Sustainability Advocates and volunteers recycled 10.3 tons in the past year. A series of lectures, films, workshops, tours, and special events on sustainability topics is offered each quarter, which includes a new student sustainability summit leadership retreat. Any student can earn an environmental literacy certificate of achievement by attending events, volunteering, and joining small group discussions.
