• Documentation Fields
• Credit Info

Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	237,676 Cubic meters	523,244 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	237,676 Cubic meters	523,244 Cubic meters

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	May 1, 2017	April 30, 2018
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2002	Dec. 31, 2002

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	1,631	993
Number of employees resident on-site	0	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	20,320	12,902
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	3,797	2,892
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	750	14
Weighted campus users	17,933	12,083.25

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	3,501.22 Cubic meters	11,439.51 Cubic meters

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area	360,054 Gross square meters	232,012 Gross square meters

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	16.20 Cubic meters per square meter	55.35 Cubic meters per square meter

Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:
Does the institution wish to pursue Part 3 of this credit? (reductions in total water use per acre/hectare of vegetated grounds):
Area of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Vegetated grounds	101 Hectares	105 Hectares

Total water use (potable + non-potable) per unit of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use per unit of vegetated grounds	251,576.05 Cubic meters per hectare	532,746.12 Cubic meters per hectare

Percentage reduction in total water use per unit of vegetated grounds from baseline:
