With more than 160 buildings and over 1,700 full-time faculty and staff, Lehigh recognizes the important role that faculty and staff play in making Lehigh a model sustainable campus. Through Lehigh’s Sustainable Office Program, which is a voluntary, self-guided program designed for faculty and staff to take the lead on promoting sustainable practices in the workplace, faculty and staff can identify opportunities for innovation and implement sustainable change. They can reduce their environmental footprint, be responsible stewards of university’s resources, contribute to Lehigh’s sustainability goals and commitments, and build a campus community for the 21st Century.
