Environmental Inventory and Sustainability Management Plan for Colorado College

We are excited to be conducting a comprehensive environmental inventory and preparing a management plan to carry Colorado College in Colorado Springs toward greater sustainability. The environmental inventory includes a carbon footprint analysis, energy and water assessments of more than 1.5 million square feet of campus facilities, and quantitative and qualitative data collection on a full spectrum of campus activities and operations, from energy and transportation to procurement and curriculum. The project also includes extensive 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 toward carbon neutrality, as well as greater alignment with sustainability on a wide range of issues. The plan will be prepared with extensive involvement of the entire campus community, including facility staff, faculty, alumni, and students.
