A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
Implemented ground source geothermal system and solar photovoltaic cells in conjunction with the new (2012) Richard S. Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation, and the School of Education renovations
Installed additional insulation (2012) as part of the renovations to Sheldon Hall and Lee Hall. Facilities Services has installed Energy efficient (outdoor) led lights throughout the college for student safety
