Associated Project(s):The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was submitted (and later recognized) in the continuous improvement category for the Illinois Governor's Sustainability Award in 2013. It is clear that this campus is serious about meeting our commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. This was emphasized this year, when “Energy, Environment, and Sustainability” was identified as a top priority for the Urbana-Champaign campus. Through the many iCAP projects completed and in progress, the campus is becoming a better steward of our financial, human, and natural resources. Our goal is to be the model of sustainability for campuses across the globe.
