• Credit Info

Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	---	33,369,024 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	27,673,540.40 Gallons	29,266,805 Gallons

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Jan. 1, 2017	Dec. 31, 2017
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2008	Dec. 30, 2008

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	1,790	1,821
Number of employees resident on-site	28	5
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	2,023	1,821
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	865	740
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	0	0
Weighted campus users	2,620.50	2,377.25

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	10,560.40 Gallons	12,311.20 Gallons

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area	1,927,731 Gross square feet	1,460,055 Gross square feet

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	14.36 Gallons per square foot	20.05 Gallons per square foot

Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:
