A brief description of how the physical campus plan or amendment includes sustainability:
The concept of sustainability is embedded in the campus master plan in 7 broad areas and is a foundation for its principles and essential features. These are: (1) Regional Stewardship - responsible stewardship of the campus' vast land base, conservation of natural areas and agricultural land, and coordinating campus and community land uses for a regional pattern of sustainable development; (2) Physical Structure - campus layout that promotes compact development and the network of campus landscapes and connections to its natural setting; (3) Land Use - mixed-use development with easy access to amenities, services, housing and open space for a walkable, bike and transit friendly community; (4) Campus Landscapes - enhancing environmental and community health through an interconnected network of open spaces; (5) Transportation - coordinated with land use to provide sustainable transportation options within the campus and connecting with the local and regional communities; (6) Utilities - enhance existing utility corridors and integrate with higher density development, promoting the use of renewable energy; and (7) Implementation - having planning processes within the campus and community coordinated for a holistic view of development and conservation. Implementing the master plan is essential to meeting the goals of the campus sustainability plan.
