Green Certification for Humanities and Social Sciences Building

The Division’s Central Staff participated in the Green Office Certification Program in July 2017. Staff completed a personal behavior survey and office trash assessment; the results were entered into a sustainability calculator to determine the Green Office rating. In their final report, the Sustainability Office awarded the Central Staff the designation of SAPLING. This is the 2^nd highest tier, meaning the offices in Humanities/SocSci incorporate many sustainable office practices, but with room for improvement. Zero Waste stations are available on the 2^nd and 4^th floors.
