A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
We have 200 squares of vegetated roofing with native prairie plants. These plants do not require excessive watering, and are watered on a timer that does not turn on if raining. The remaining rainwater is collected in a cistern below the college until it is safe to release to the city's stormwater system. This is in place to reduce the effects of flash flooding.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):
When our South Campus building was built in 2013, it was fitted with automatic taps and toilets in all washrooms. At the same time, North Campus was retrofitted with these features as well.
