Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
To calculate the cost of consumables per year for the main campus, the data for DC & Ontario Tech University (North and Whitby Campus) was divided in half (representing only Ontario Tech's portion of expenses). Therefore only 50% of the total is accounted for, for Ontario Tech.
