Does the institution's physical campus plan include sustainability at a high level?:
A brief description of how the physical campus plan or amendment includes sustainability:
Pursuant to Bryant ’s 150 years of innovation, excellence, and leadership, the University’s mission to cultivate leaders of character who make a positive difference around the globe is ever evolving. The University is currently undertaking several ambitious endeavors that underscore its commitment to that end, not the least of which is the incorporation of sustainable practices into already existing operations.
In the modern world, if one is determined to foster the development of conscientious leaders, issues of regional stewardship and environmental sustainability must be seriously considered. An essential component of Bryant University’s mission is to encourage and facilitate collaborative efforts of faculty, students, and staff to generate knowledge, acquire skills, develop values, and initiate practices that contribute to a sustainable, cost-effective, high quality of life on campus.
While Bryant University has already begun to take a leadership role in proliferating environmental sustainability in higher education, we are not complacent in our accomplishments. In 2012, Bryant’s operations were rated 18.5/100 by the AASHE sustainability tracking, assessment, and rating system (STARS). In an attempt to build on the recent successes of established projects, Bryant is aggressively pursuing means to improve this standing by:
• Increasing efficiency campus-wide,
• Minimizing and monitoring energy consumption,
• Reducing travel emissions,
• Increasing use of green products,
• Reducing waste streams,
• and promoting increased recycling
