To celebrate Earth Week, the Sustainability Engagement Institute (SEI) will lead a tour highlighting recent sustainability initiatives on Western Washington University's campus. Come along as we explore how students, through a sustainability-focused grant program, installed solar arrays on top of two buildings and built a completely electric utility vehicle. Learn about three buildings that have earned a gold certification in LEED (or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Find out about the history of our College of the Environment, as well as how our academic programs have recently shifted their focus towards sustainability and a Curriculum for the Bioregion. Western Washington University is a leader in sustainability, and we'd love to show you what makes our campus so great!
The tour is open for all community members to enjoy, register to receive a calendar invite and reminders.
