It’s Easy Being Green: St. Louis Community College-Wildwood’s Green Campus Becomes a Sustainability Learning Lab

This relatively new community college campus is designed, and not just in its physical parts, to be sustainable through and through. This is an excellent, even must-read article:

Being a green campus is about more than the physical features of LEED construction; it is a mindset that faculty and staff members are asked to carry into their planning and practice on a daily basis. Campus president Pam McIntyre stresses this in her work with campus administrators, faculty, and staff. “Our campus commitment to sustainability is important to every department. Campus planning efforts focus on finding unique ways to use the campus as a sustainability learning lab,” said McIntyre. Every area, from physical facilities and campus life to academic affairs, is asked to integrate sustainability into its daily practices. Strategic partnerships in the community are cultivated to advance this focus and carry it beyond the campus.
