Features of Sustainability at CU
The University of Colorado Boulder has a long history of global leadership in sustainability. From being the first university to establish a recycling program, to being the first university to rank “gold” through the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System, our history is rich with progressive thinking and productive partnerships.
It is nearly impossible to list every sustainability initiative, effort and success on campus. We’ve done our best to capture some of the most tangible items, and we hope to convey how the campus culture really drives these initatives. Partners on the campus include the Environmental Center, the Office of Campus Sustainability, Facilities Management, Housing & Dining Services, students, faculty, staff and community members.
