Today UC San Diego is unveiling the Sustainability Resource Center, a one-stop-sustainability-shop where students can learn about green jobs and courses on sustainability-related topics, how to conserve energy and water or find eco-friendly products.
With the goal to earn the highest possible Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, the center features countertops made from recycled paper and glass and eco-friendly paint. Center flooring includes wood reclaimed from a demolished building, formaldehyde-free bamboo, and carpeting that is recyclable. The center also features an innovative energy-saving lighting system where 100 percent of the high-efficiency lighting is energized by solar panels located directly above the center.
