Due to the geographical location; the size of the facility; operational boundaries; as well as facility or land ownership; the following facilities were excluded (*unless nominated in the Innovation credit) from the assessment for the University of Western Ontario (Western):

- Gibbons Lodge,
- Institute for Chemicals and Fuel from Alternative Resources,
- Plant Field Station,
- Museum of Ontario Archaeology,
- Research Park-London,
- Insurance Research Lab for Better Homes,
- Continuing Studies at Western,
- Elginfield Observatory,
- Delaware Radio Observatory,
- Windermere Manor, and
- Fanshawe Boat House.

The affiliated colleges, Brescia University College, Huron University College and King’s University College were also exempted from the assessment as UWO does not regulate the colleges' operations or facilities.

Most of UWO’s operations and facilities are within the Main Campus, which also has a larger area compared to other Western facilities. Therefore, the environmental and socio-economic impacts are best represented by the Main Campus.
