Loyola Goes Green
Date: 11/17/2008 05:28 pm
Two new things are happening at Loyola that will make that campus a little greener. First, the new building on campus will be a bio-building, for which the University hopes to be LEED certified (LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Criteria for this certification include alternative transportation capacities (like bike or foot), light pollution reduction, water-efficient landscaping, storm water management, water use reduction, and carbon dioxide monitoring. Secondly, a new class being developed at the school will involve students producing and marketing bio-diesel fuel from leftover vegetable oil procured from Aramark, the campus food service company.
