Rice University
IC-1: Institutional Boundary

This submission will include Rice's approx. 300-acre campus, bounded approx. by Main Street, Sunset, Rice Blvd, and University Blvd. This submission will also include Rice's BioSciences Research Collaborative, a multi-tenant facility located at the corner of Main and University. Some of these tenants are non-Rice employees/researchers, but it's difficult to split out the utility usage and carbon footprint based on these occupancies. The boundary will also include the Greenbriar building, Library Service Center, President's House, and Primary Data Center, and utility data for these facilities is captured in the carbon footprint. We also will include Rice-leased square footage in the IBC and Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza buildings, but will exclude utilities. We will also include the Rice Children's Campus, but will exclude those utilities that are not paid by Rice, and will also exclude the non-Rice occupancy of that building. The Rice Village Apartments, located on Shakespeare Street in the Rice Village, and the Rice Graduate Apartments, located on Bissonnet, are excluded from the institutional boundary. Students in these facilities pay their own utilities, and these buildings function much more like apartments buildings than dormitories. This submission will also include the Rice Land Lumber Company in SW Louisiana for purposes of reporting our carbon footprint and related offsets.
