The Universities at Shady Grove designed Building III as a learning laboratory: a place where students, faculty, staff and community members can learn together about environmental issues. Continuing goals include:
- Working with our local schools, community colleges and university partners on curriculum development in sustainability
- Promoting alternate forms of transportation, such as:
- Carpooling
- Biking to work
- Using public transportation
- Providing preferential parking for fuel efficient vehicles
- Providing "green" tours for local schools and community members to promote green construction and sustainable practices
- Offering a Green Lecture Series that provides information on the enviornment that is open to all students, faculty and staff
USG's New Herb Garden
Inspired by Bon Appetit's dedication in having all things fresh and local and through a generous donation by landscaping contractor Capital Maintenance, an 100% organic garden is now onsite at USG. The herbs and produce from this garden go directly to the chef at the Green Grove Cafe to use in their daily specials.
