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	---	538,246,941 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	277,299,011 Gallons	183,055,277 Gallons

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2015	June 30, 2016
Baseline Year	July 1, 2006	June 30, 2007

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	3,259	2,736
Number of employees resident on-site	7	7
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	30,620	24,605
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	7,203	3,774
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	8,394	3,686
Weighted campus users	22,888.25	19,205.50

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	12,115.34 Gallons	9,531.40 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	9,886,975 Gross Square Feet	7,116,065 Gross Square Feet

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	28.05 Gallons / GSF	25.72 Gallons / GSF

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