Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Green Studio, located on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Fairfax Campus, is a permaculture garden, outdoor studio, and lab space dedicated to hosting ecological art and design projects by students from across the arts and sciences. Jennifer Ashworth wanted to elevate the space in preparation for more student projects in the future. She applied for funding through University Sustainability’s Patriot Green Fund and was granted financial support to revamp the garden in preparation for the new academic year.

The Center for the Arts on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Fairfax Campus has revamped its zero-waste infrastructure, thanks to the support of University Sustainability's Patriot Green Fund. Sleek new waste and recycling stations at the performing arts venue will improve Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s waste diversion rate, helping to reach Â鶹ÊÓƵ's goal of diverting at least 90% of waste from the trash.

On April 21, 2015, Â鶹ÊÓƵ held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Presidents Park Hydroponic Greenhouse and served greenhouse-grown food as a part of the celebration.

A collaboration between the Honey Bee Initiative and Â鶹ÊÓƵ's new Forensic Science Research and Training Laboratory could yield critical advances in forensic science.

Mechanical engineering major Chigozie Erondu may have always been passionate about robotics, but in his time at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, he’s developed a new passion for helping the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community stay sustainable.
