Sustainability Focus Areas

Committed to carbon neutrality by 2035, we are enacting solutions for energy efficiency, clean energy, and decarbonization.

Working toward 40% reduction of waste sent to the landfill by 2030 and 60% by 2035, we are employing strategies to decrease waste, and increase circularity on campus.

Interwoven into our initiatives is the dedication to creating a just and equitable world in our local and global communities.

Using campus as a living laboratory, our work emphasizes the importance of healthy ecosystems and works to create sustainable habitat solutions.

LaFarm, a three-acre community garden and student farm at Metzgar Fields, serves as a laboratory for student-faculty research and provides produce to dining halls, utilizing compost from campus food scraps to complete the food loop at Lafayette.
