Sustainable Facilities
Facilities Management is committed to developing and maintaining an environment that enhances human health and fosters a transition toward sustainability. We are an integral part of the CU-Boulder campus, and we're committed to making it as sustainable as possible.
From engineering high-performance buildings, to implementing an eco-friendly grounds and landscaping program, to running a cutting-edge waste diversion program, Facilities Management is key to making CU one of the country's most sustainable universities.
