A brief description of how the physical campus plan or amendment includes sustainability:

Sustainability is the lens through which we viewed our entire Campus Master Plan update in 2012-13. More specifically, the Plan establishes broad and far-reaching sustainability principles and projects that include but are not limited to:
~restoration of the quality and function of our natural watershed;
~reducing sprawl by concentrating campus life and our built environment in a centralized manner;
~maximizing space-efficiency so that constructing new buildings is avoided when practicable;
~reserve parking and car activity to the perimeter of campus to facilitate a pedestrian and bike-friendly community;
~evaluating Colgate's open space for the possible inclusion of energy and food production.


The year the physical campus plan was developed or adopted:
