  • Sustainability

    Consistently ranked among the top public universities in the country, the University of Pittsburgh has had a lot to juggle in an effort to “maintain research and instructional excellence, realize cost savings and apply sound sustainability principles.” An original signatory of the Talloires Declaration, “supporting mobilization of the resources of higher education on behalf of sustainability,” Pitt has constantly made the environment a priority, in fact identifying sustainable concepts as one of its five engineering research focus areas—and that’s saying something for a school where Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Green infrastructure is at the forefront of Pitt’s movement; the university’s Carrillo Street Steam Plant is one of the cleanest university heating plants in the nation. Equipped with state-of-the-art ultra-low nitrogen oxide (NOx) burners and emission control technology, the plant’s six boilers produce greenhouse gas emissions at about half the rate associated with the university’s steam supply prior to the plant’s construction. The University has earned LEED certification for eight construction projects; six Gold and two Silver, and is pursuing LEED on eight additional projects. The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation, housed in one of these LEED Gold facilities, “encourages and nurtures new collaborative projects based on strong and innovative research.” With all the sustainable initiatives in place to develop Pitt as an institution, the university doesn’t forget about its heart and soul—its students. Pitt's Office of Student Employment and Placement—besides offering paid internships for students and organizing periodic student symposiums—is staffed by an Employment Development Specialist who frequently assists students interested in working for organizations with sustainable practices.
