Dedicated To Sustainability

Facilities Services is dedicated to operating sustainably throughout the University of Florida’s campus. To make UF more sustainable now and for future generations, our sustainability initiatives include:

– Reducing campus-wide energy consumption — Over the last 17 years, UF has achieved a 14.4% reduction per gross square footage in campus energy consumption while adding 23% gross square footage and increasing student enrollment by 19%.

– Promoting clean energy and carbon footprint reduction, UF has partnered with our electric provider, and 80% of our primary campus electric consumption is green power. We anticipate this percentage to be close to 100% by the end of the year.

– Implementing a robust waste management and recycling operation — In recent years, UF has achieved a university-wide recycling rate of 55%.

– University engagement centered on land conservation and stormwater management.
