This path through the heart of campus parallels Rocky Branch Creek. Educational signage along the route explains how the creek was restored for improved water quality and wildlife habitats.
At all three campus dining halls, sustainability is served daily through local food choices, trayless dining that conserves water, composting and a recycling program that converts used cooking oil to biofuel.
At this frontrunner for sustainable athleticism, solar energy heats the gym’s two pools. You can also rent a WolfWheels bicycle here for use around campus.
