Indoor Environmental Quality

Reduction of indoor air quality pollutants is incorporated into construction practices and material considerations on all buildings. Buildings are designed to provide effective ventilation and comfortable conditions, maintain quality lighting, incorporate daylight and views, and use low-emitting paint, carpets and sealants.

Local Air Quality

Materials are purchased with consideration to distances from manufacturing and extraction locations to reduce transportation impacts and emissions. Campus layout and construction will emphasize pedestrian traffic and non-polluting circulation methods for campus traffic as well as campus-community traffic.
