  • Sustainability

    As a living laboratory for sustainability and the best value in higher education, UNC has an innovative, high performance campus. Carolina is an ACUPCC signatory and AASHE STARS Gold rated university. Green features include two new LEED Gold lab buildings and a LEED Platinum Education Center, a 32-megawatt cogeneration facility that is nationally recognized for efficiency, several solar arrays and green roofs, and a water reclamation and reuse system that displaces 210 million gallons of potable water annually. UNC has saved $223 million in energy costs and $24 million in water costs since 2003. New buildings are designed to achieve at least LEED Silver. A 1-megawatt generator converts landfill gas into electricity for the grid. A student fee has funded more than $1.5 million in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The Green Games competition among residence halls reduces water and energy use and increases recycling. Centrally-located water bottle refill stations reduce the use of disposable bottles. More than 7 million free bus rides are provided annually through the Fare Free Transit System. Career services counselors specialize in nonprofit and environmental careers. The three-year “Water In Our World” campus-wide theme encourages collaborative research, teaching, and events on water-related issues. Students work closely with Dining Services to increase purchases of local and sustainably produced foods. Food will be the new campus theme starting in fall 2015. Students can obtain major concentrations or a minor in sustainability. More than 400 undergraduate courses focus on sustainability themes and challenges.
