The roughly 6-month project, spanning from January to the end of June 2008, includes a carbon footprint analysis, building energy and water assessments for buildings larger than 20,000 square feet in area, and collection of quantitative and qualitative data on a full spectrum of campus activities and operations, from energy and transportation to procurement and curriculum. The project will also include benchmarking to demonstrate Colorado College’s position on sustainability relative to peer colleges across the country. The Sustainability Management Plan will include both short-term and long-term goals to help bring the College towards carbon neutrality, as well as in greater alignment with sustainability on a wide range of issues. The Plan will be prepared with involvement of the entire campus community, including facility staff, faculty, alumni, and students.
