  • Sustainability

    For Winthrop University, sustainability can be found at the intersection of ecology, social equality, and economics. Winthrop’s sustainability committee, comprised of faculty and staff, in addition to a student representative from the Council of Student Leaders, works throughout the academic year to develop sustainability initiatives and programs. In the classroom, students can pursue several courses of environmental study, from a bachelor’s degree or a Bachelor of Science in environmental studies to a major in sustainable business through the College of Business Administration's department of management and marketing. Minors are also available in environmental studies or sustainability. In the dorms, students are encouraged to reduce water and electricity usage, and the school’s website provides a map to locate recycling centers to drop off more cumbersome items like printers or old cell phones so they don’t end up in the landfill. Graphs provided by the school also depict the campus’s total electric and water usage for the year, giving students an idea of when would be a good time to conserve. The newly constructed Lois Rhame West Center, the campus’s fitness center, is LEED-certified: at least 50 percent of the building’s materials contain highly recycled content and a minimum of 20 percent of the building materials were manufactured locally. There are bike racks, showers, and changing rooms to encourage students to walk or bike. The West Center also reduces artificial light during the daytime, cutting down on energy consumption. A trolley proposal is in the works to connect the campus to downtown Rock Hill and Charlotte, North Carolina, further decreasing the students’ need for personal vehicles.
