Home to over 2,000 trees, a flock of chickens, and just under 2,000 residential students, it takes a lot to keep campus up and running. Through collaborations with nearly every department on campus, °µÍø½ûÇø strives to constantly improve all aspects of campus operations to protect our environment today and for years to come.
A few of our accomplishments include:
- Signing the Second Nature President's Climate Leadership Pledge, committing to establish data-driven climate action targets and a roadmap for reaching them.
- Building the 1-megawatt hillside solar array
- Installing 10 Level II electric vehicle charging stations
- Initiating the Bike Share Program
- FEAST Organic Garden, a student-run community garden
- Composting food waste at all campus dining facilities
- Renovating Swan Hall to meet LEED Gold certification
- Establishing the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fund
- Managing the Occidental Sustainability Investment Fund
