CCA has goals that include:
- water and energy generation, usage, and conservation
- healthy air quality
- environmentally safe artmaking materials and practices
With the new campus, CCA plans to expand its sustainability curriculum to involve all 34 programs.

Learning will happen everywhere and will be visible to all. https://www.cca.edu/new-campus/sustainability

Overview: We are excited by our work to date with Studio Gang, the award-winning architecture firm selected to design the new expanded San Francisco campus. Together, we are envisioning a new kind of college experience, built and operated as a model of sustainable practice--where facilities and landscapes create a living, learning, laboratory for makers across disciplines to come together in new, unexpected, and fruitful ways.
