Sustainability

Elon was selected from a group of nearly 700 colleges and universities for the guide for the 10th straight year.

In the second neighborhood “Immersion Excursion” of the year, a group of Danieley Center students and Faculty Director Matthew Buckmaster took the train from Burlington to Durham on Oct. 5. 

The demonstration, which served as the opening of Campus Sustainability Week at Elon, showed how much of the campus' landfill waste could actually be recycled or composted.

The Office of Sustainability will host numerous events throughout the week to bring awareness to and inspire sustainable behavior change throughout campus.

The Sept. 17 article, "Why College Campuses Are Going Green," highlights how Elon is imparting lessons to students about how to care for the natural environment.

Students, faculty and staff joined in to pack 30,000 meals that will be distributed around the world, including those areas of the Bahamas devastated by Hurrricane Dorian.

The report by the local FOX affiliate highlighted the features at Richard W. Sankey Hall, which opened in 2018 and was recently certified as LEED silver. 

Sankey Hall has been recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council for sustainable design and construction with the LEED Silver certification.
