Optional Fields
Recycling construction and demolition debris is a priority and Colorado College has had success with rates greater than 75% for LEED construction recycling. Facilities Services manages all recycling for construction projects. General contractors hired for small scale, less than $500K projects, don’t include waste hauler info or recycling in their scope of work. Regardless of the size of project, sustainability practices are followed and all waste operations are executed in the spirit of LEED guidelines. This can be interpreted to mean that for new projects the goals is to include a minimum of 50% of waste to a recycling center. Many space renovations at Colorado College are historic buildings where waste includes hazardous materials including asbestos and lead. Renovation projects focus to reuse structural walls, ceilings, and flooring except when it’s not structurally possible or the materials are determined to pose a health risk to contractors and building occupants.
