Think Green with SIUE

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville promotes sustainability through a variety of campus initiatives.

• SIUE has achieved a Silver rating for campus-wide sustainable practices from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. All new campus construction is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifiable by the U.S. Green Building Council.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks SIUE among the Top 30 universities nationally in green power usage.
• SIUE is one of three higher education institutions in the nation to be named a Living Architecture Regional Center of Excellence by the Green Infrastructure Foundation.
• We have more than 17,500 square-feet of green roof space. A portion of the space is used to grow fresh produce, which is used by Dining Services to prepare student meals.
• Faculty and students engage in a variety of green infrastructure research projects.

Have you thought about sustainability as you consider college choices? If so, you already think like an SIUE student.
