�鶹��ý�Ŷ� demonstrates a commitment to building a community that uses resources responsibly through our campus facilities, including our new construction and renovation. The college also incorporates innovative technologies such as geothermal wells and rainwater collection.

Five buildings — residence halls, the administration building, a renovated academic building and a dining facility — boast Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification (LEED) from the  U.S. Green Building Council.

For Monroe Hall residence hall, the entire process — from design to construction — used environmentally friendly materials, as well as geothermal well technology, said David Norton, associate director of facilities planning and construction. Even construction waste was recycled.
