  • Sustainability

    University of Richmond’s picturesque campus routinely ends up on various “most beautiful” lists and several film and television crews have used it to add “atmosphere” to their productions. It’s no wonder that the university is dedicated to preserving that beauty. A signatory of both the ACUPCC and the Talloires Declaration, the University of Richmond has initiated an ambitious nine-month process to hire to a new director of sustainability, a position crafted around visionary leadership and the integration of sustainability into academics and operations. At UR, students have access to meaningful sustainability engagement opportunities through the Sustainability Internship and Eco-Reps programs; four student-run sustainability related organizations; partnerships with the school’s Center for Civic Engagement; and rich living-learning and international programs, rigorous research placements, and course offerings with academic departments. The Career Development Center works closely with the coordinator of environmental studies to provide students with access to green internships and jobs. Through the River City Project, faculty receive fellowships to integrate sustainability into existing or new courses, while building a community of faculty engaged in sustainability pedagogy and curriculum development. The university has made several significant operational advancements in the areas of green building, energy conservation, and recycling. UR’s Weinstein Hall was Central Virginia’s first LEED certified building, and the university has committed to LEED Silver standards or better on all new construction. Currently, the campus is home to five LEED-certified buildings, with five more in the process of certification. In addition to retrofitting and upgrades, the university encourages awareness and personal responsibility through a series of behavior change programs, aided by a monitoring system displaying real-time energy usage installed in fourteen residence halls. In just one year, the university diverted 1.4 million pounds of waste from landfills through completely voluntary reuse and recycling efforts (which was key to UR achieving an impressive 39.5 percent waste-diversion rate).
