New Green Residence Hall
Using Renewable Energy to be rated LEED Silver.
The new residence hall will heat and cool the building using geothermal energy. The building will utilize the Earth’s consistent 55 degree temperature to more efficiently control the building’s temperature for occupants. The building is striving for the United States Green Building Council’s LEED Silver rating.
New Environmental Studies and Sustainability Major
Following a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Drew’s Environmental Studies Minor was expanded to include a Major in Environmental Studies and Sustainability. For more information, visit the ESS website.
Lug a Mug Program
Incoming students in all three schools in Fall 2008 will be given a recycled mug in an effort to reduce solid waste on campus. Students are asked to bring this mug to campus events and use it in place of disposable beverage containers. The Snack Bar (UC) and the Seattle's Best Coffee Bar (BC) will offer discounts to students carrying a mug.
