A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The UMD campus is located within the city of Duluth, MN. The campus academic buildings are mostly interconnected through hallways, tunnels, and skyways and the campus is threaded with parking lots and roads. Adjacent to campus is the Bagley Nature Area, which is forested green space.
Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
| Present? | Included? | |
| Agricultural school | No | No |
| Medical school | Yes | Yes |
| Other professional school with labs or clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) | Yes | Yes |
| Museum | Yes | Yes |
| Satellite campus | No | No |
| Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres | Yes | Yes |
| Agricultural experiment station larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres | No | No |
| Hospital | No | No |
The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:
UMD aimed to be as inclusive as possible in reporting our STARS data. This submission reflects data for our entire main campus, and also includes research and other facilities near our campus as well, including the Natural Resources Research Institute, the Large Lakes Observatory (the Research Lab Building), the Research and Field Studies Center (the farm), and the Glensheen Mansion (museum). The Blue Herron Vessel is included in the emissions inventory and building square footage, but not within the total campus acreage due to it being a moveable asset. The institutional boundary does not include leased space, buildings that we own that are on leased land, or property outside of Duluth. The Talmadge River Biological Research Area was also not included because no active research and or maintenance is known to occur on the site.
