A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
UCSC reports on all property and facilities on its main Santa Cruz campus (1156 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95064) with the exclusion of natural gas and electric data from the small Family Student Housing & Faculty Housing (Cardiff, Hagar, RVT) facilities. They are excluded because these on-campus facilities are operated by employees and UCSC does not have access to all utility data. We also exclude Faculty Housing waste and recycling data because it is serviced by the City and we do not have access to that data. UCSC has ownership of three extended campuses it includes in its reporting. These include its Silicon Valley Campus, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department (EEB) - Coastal Science Campus, and UCSC Administrative Building at 2300 Delaware. UCSC leases a portion of a business complex (Scotts Valley Center) that it does not report any metrics for except employee headcount because employees spend a portion of their time on the main campus.
