Optional Fields
Specifications related to building construction and demolition state that, "To the greatest extent possible and in compliance with state or federal rules and laws, items that can be reused, recycled or resold shall be separated from the waste stream and diverted to be reused, recycled or resold."
When possible, items are removed prior to demolition and sent to the IU Surplus Store for resale and reuse (surplus.indiana.edu). Other materials are reused in new buildings. For example, Union Street Residence and the Service Building have some of the same metals and limestone as the previous Ashton building, which was demolished on the Union Street Residence site. As all new construction and major renovation is LEED certified, procedures are in place for the separation and recycling or reuse of non-hazardous materials.
Unfortunately, non-LEED projects do not track diversion and landfill rates, but the reuse and Surplus Store diversion principles are still in place.
