Sustainability

One of the five Core Values of Facilities Services is stewardship. As stewards of the university’s facility-related services, we strive to conduct our business in an environmentally, socially, and economically responsible manner.

Facilities Services actively reduces consumption, recycles, protects the environment, and restores resources in our day-to-day operations. We also support other campus community sustainability efforts.
