With its commitment to carbon neutrality and the responsible stewardship of resources, UMass Lowell has emerged as a leader in sustainability. That commitment is evident in the six LEED-certified buildings on campus, the programs to boost recycling and cut food waste, the academic and research projects addressing everything from climate change to renewable energy and more.
