  • Sustainability

    University of Portland strives to incorporate sustainability into all aspects of college life. An enthusiastic participant in Campus Conservation Nationals, students managed to save more than 23,905 kilowatt hours. The university’s College Ecology Club has established a student-led Dorm Challenge, bringing sustainability to the forefront of college-style housing. The university also challenges students to navigate campus by walking or riding a bike, since doing so can cut almost one quarter of a pound of pollution out of the air per person each day. Numerous bike racks have been installed around campus to facilitate students’ choice to ride. The University of Portland is also in partnership with TriMet, Portland’s public transit system, and Zipcar, to provide a shuttle to campus to increase employee and student use of public transit while reducing overall automobile usage. UP is in the process of purchasing a biodiesel generator that will enable it to convert cooking oil waste (an estimated 40 gallons each week!) from dining services into bio-diesel fuel to operate campus vehicles. Further, UP opened the country’s first environmentally sensitive science building and has earned LEED Platinum for its engineering building. The university’s students took the initiative to develop the Student Led Unity Garden (“SLUG”), an organic garden on campus where students grow a wide variety of organic food and even provide some to dining services. UP offers an environmental studies program that critically examines the broad scope of the current environmental crisis. To that end, the program includes project-oriented seminars in which student teams create action plans to help solve regional environmental issues.
