Does the institution have signage that highlights sustainability features on campus?:
A brief description of the signage that highlights sustainability features on campus:
We have a brochure for the LEED-Platinum Perry Hall that describes many of the features as well as some physical signage inside the building; physical signs in LEED-Gold Juniper Hall. All geothermal buildings have a small sign at their primary entrance.
In an effort to explain some of the sustainability features at Champlain College, we've created interpretive signage to help tell the stories. The text and layout of signs were developed by Sustain Champlain interns and Work Study students. See if you can find them all on your walk about campus! https://www.champlain.edu/student-life/campus-and-community-programs/sustain-champlain/resources-sustain-champlain/green-walk-/-interpretive-signage
