ONU SUSTAINABILITY
Ohio Northern has made several significant strides in sustainability, and currently is making considerable efforts to realize the full benefits of a comprehensive approach in several areas of sustainability, alternative energy and environmental stewardship. • Three wind turbines generate 400 kilowatts of power and the 3MW solar array field reduces ONU’s carbon footprint by over 3,300 tons, equal to 315 average households. Combined wind and solar generate more than 20 percent of ONU’s annual electricity needs. • Founders Complex and Affinity Village Complex feature geothermal heating and cooling system to reduce energy use and water consumption. • Ohio Northern University is a 100 percent tobaccofree campus. • ONU has been recognized as a Tree Campus USA by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation for the past seven years. • Two electric vehicle charging stations have been installed on campus.
TUITION AND FEES (2018-19)
• The Affinity Gardens project has transformed the green space of the residence community and provides produce for the Ada Food Bank. • 100 trees and shrubs have been planted near the wind turbines with a focus on providing a perfect habitat for 10 beehives. • ONU Dinning Services promotes a number of sustainability initiatives, to include but not limited to the following programs: “Green Container, Green Planet” program, “Skip the Straw”, use of BPA recyclable tumblers, trayless operations, as well as celebration of WasteLESS Week and Earth Day events.
