Campus Sustainability

Established in April 2017, the Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) is composed of the Environment/Energy Department and the Campus Design Department. Faculty and staff members work together in the office, with the Executive Vice President of Facilities serving as the head of the office and the director of the Department of Facilities serving as the vice-head.

Because of the importance of maintaining/improving sustainability of the university and the necessity of strengthening the governance of land and buildings on campus as a whole, the CSO is in charge of planning, designing, and overseeing policies on facilities improvement, while the Facilities Management Steering Committee is in charge of deliberation of policies.
