• Credit Info

Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	---	54,250,570 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	84,802,257 Gallons	54,250,570 Gallons

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2015	June 30, 2016
Baseline Year	July 1, 2008	June 30, 2011

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	1,977	1,660
Number of employees resident on-site	3	3
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	12,482	11,629
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	1,913	1,661
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	681.50	283
Weighted campus users	10,780.13	10,171

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	7,866.54 Gallons	5,333.85 Gallons

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:
Gross floor area of building space:
