A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
The Global and International Studies Building (GISB), opened in 2015, has a 40,000 gallon capacity cistern which collects water from the majority of the rooftop area.
Many parts of campus do not have installed irrigation systems.
Water trucks that are used to spot water new plantings (initially grown in the campus nursery, then transplanted) utilize non-potable water for irrigation.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):
Replacement of fixtures occurs during planned renovations. At that time, high-performance low-flow fixtures are used and are standard IU practice.
