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	---	1,822,884.63 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	780,038.85 Cubic meters	1,699,845.93 Cubic meters

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2014	June 30, 2015
Baseline Year	July 1, 2006	June 30, 2007

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	4,000	2,200
Number of employees resident on-site	120	100
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	14,288	12,649
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	2,603	2,603
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	693	193
Weighted campus users	13,178.50	11,869.25

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	59.19 Cubic meters	143.21 Cubic meters

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