Sustainability
Case Western Reserve University and the Department of Housing, Residence Life
& Greek Life are committed to maintaining a sustainable and environmentally
responsible campus within the context of its educational mission, resources, and
responsibilities to students, faculty, staff, alumni, local community, and our
environment. Over the last decade, Case Western Reserve University has invested
millions of dollars in energy-efficient technologies and building systems. The
most recent example of our sustainability and energy conservation efforts can be
seen at the Village at 115. We are committed to continuing these types of
investments.
In true higher-learning form, the university is using the lessons of
sustainability beyond the completion of the building. Energy usage and monitoring
statistics for the Village at 115 are being compiled and used in undergraduate
research projects. "Case is committed to assisting students in developing a
greater sense of social responsibility while providing them with the tools to
solve the problems society faces," says Sue Nickel-Schindewolf, Associate Vice
President for Student Affairs.
