Climate Action and the Built Environment

We have made aggressive energy and climate commitments, and strive to build and operate low-impact campuses that support health and wellbeing, equity, diversity and inclusion, learning, innovation and community.

Our strategic priorities in Climate Action & Building Environment are:

  1. Net Zero in 2029 through significant reductions in campus greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while preparing for and addressing the impacts of climate change.
  2. Pursue global best practice in energy efficiency, sustainable design, construction and the operation of new and renovated buildings.
  3. Drive transformational change in the marketplace through demonstrated leadership.
  4. Our campuses will be places where students and the community come to learn from the latest in healthy and efficient building design and operations.
  5. Ensure our spaces prioritize health, accessibility, functionality and social inclusion.

These strategic priorities are addressed through various plans and initiatives, specifically in the Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP) and Climate Action Plan.
