Sustainability

The bond has prioritized sustainability, one of our core values, through a series of forward-thinking projects designed to reduce environmental impact and promote energy efficiency. These projects can be divided into two categories, upgrades to existing buildings and designs for new buildings.

Upgrades:

  • Major LED lighting retrofit for the Building 5 locker room and common areas
  • Replacement and relocation of our campus compressed air system
  • Renewable energy projects at Florence and main campus (dependent on a matching state grant)

New Buildings:

  • Designing for LEED certification
  • Using local products in new
  • Implementing state-of-the-art, efficient heating and cooling systems
  • Using LED lighting
  • Creating rain gardens & filtration systems
