Craig Kilburn, MassArt's Environmental Health & Safety Officer and Eric Friedman, Director of the Leading by Example Program
MassArt received an honorable mention in this year's Leading by Example Environmental Innovation Awards. The Leading by Example Awards recognize outstanding efforts in implementing sustainable practices among the Commonwealth's state agencies, public institutions of higher education, and municipalities.
- In the short span of only eight months, MassArt has made steady strides in increasing the collection of recyclable materials. As of October 25, 2007 the College has managed to recycle 84,920.00 pounds of materials and is increasing this number by the week.
- The expansion of our GREEN ROOF was completed in August. The expansion of the Green Roof is expected to offer a drop in energy required to heat and cool the 10th floor of the Tower Building.
- In terms of water conservation, MassArt has been installing new fixtures throughout campus resulting in reduced water consumption by 996,303 gallons between FY06 and FY07.
- As MassArt continues to improve its campus with new construction projects, all contractors and materials are reviewed for their Sustainability Status. We are looking for companies that have LEED Certified Plants and or products that are made from recycled materials.
- MassArt has switched all of its cleaning products to “Green” environmentally safe products.
