Sustainability at Meredith College
Meredith College students, faculty and staff are committed to a balance between environmental conservation, social justice and economic consideration. We are working as a united community to deepen our education and spread awareness of environmental sustainability. We are creating enduring solutions on our campus that are holistic, collaborative and proactive, and are engaged in crafting a healthy, safe and comfortable future for the globe.
>These are among the goals stated in Meredith's Greenprint plan for integrating sustainability into the College's practices in education and daily operations. The College's Greenprint was approved in 2009. Other recent sustainability accomplishments include the completion of Meredith's first LEED certified building, improvements to the College's recycling system.
