A brief description of the institution's collaborative sustainability partnership(s):

The University helps fund and participates in the U District Partnership (UDP). The Partnership is a 501 (c) 3 that is dedicated to promoting a vibrant, innovative and diverse community surrounding the campus. The partnership was forged through a four-year period of time that saw unprecedented levels of community engagement and collaboration between the City, the UW, Sound Transit, Business Owners, Property Owners, and Residents of the District. Together they crafted a Strategic Plan guided by a Steering Committee. Their efforts produced a long term, sustainable organization that provides the community with the leadership capacity required to realize their own goals. Among the principles specified as part of the partnership's strategic plan is to "build an environmentally and economically sustainable neighborhood."
