Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Only square footage for buildings that we capture energy data for is listed above. We omitted the Mines Park apartment complex outside the main campus. Students pay their own electric bill and we don't have access to their utility data. Although we do have water usage data for this complex, we decided to omit energy and water use data because this area is being redesigned and renovated into a sustainable redevelopment beginning in 2021 and ending in 2024. We won't have data for the new buildings until after 2025 so year-over-year comparison would be difficult for the next report. However, since recycling rates are determined by looking at rates per person rather than square footage, we did not subtract the number of students from the data.
