  • Sustainability

    In 2007, The University of Rhode Island signed the ACUPCC and established a Council on Sustainability to provide guidance on the greening of URI. Step one: Calculate the university’s carbon footprint—check. Step two: Investigate energy-saving possibilities— check. Step three: Achieve carbon neutrality—on target. URI has undertaken a systematic plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and become a carbon neutral institution in the near future. Energy faculty and graduate students have completed energy audits of buildings on campus, and 95 percent of URI’s buildings have undergone energy-related retrofits or renovations in the past three years including plans to install solar shingles on the Continuing Education Center on campus. In September 2012, URI opened Hillside Hall, a residence hall for first- and second-year students. This energy efficient building features naturally ventilated rooms, rooftop solar collectors to heat water, a vegetated roof, building materials with high recycled content, indoor bicycle storage, and real-time energy monitoring. Further plans are being made to turn the north district of campus into a “sustainable neighborhood” featuring the latest in sustainable materials and technologies. Those who drive are able to park their cars in an eco-friendly parking lot that helps filter pollutants before they enter the groundwater. With ongoing research opportunities available in sustainability through the College of Environmental Life and the university’s minor in sustainability, URI is taking strides to ensure that students both live and learn about sustainability. Outside of the classroom, numerous green student groups are working to educate their peers about sustainability issues on campus.
