Sustainability at Rutgers

Rutgers University has an enrollment of about 56,000 students on five different campuses. Of these 56,000 students, less than half are probably aware of the big things happening at the University. In 2007, construction began to create a sustainable campus on Livingston that incorporates solar energy fields and geothermal energy systems. The problem with all of this is that there are few people who actually know this exists, and even those who are aware might not be familiar with the details of the project. Sustainability has become a popular topic in the last few years, and it is important that students as well as faculty and staff have the knowledge about how Rutgers is paving the way for energy conservation and sustainability among universities nationwide.
