Sustainability is about meeting today’s needs without sacrificing the needs of the next generation. Here at UB, it means preparing our students for a changing world—one where solar panels proliferate in place of fossil fuels.

With hundreds of buildings and miles of road, UB's environmental footprint is significant. Our Climate Action Plan calls for the university to become climate neutral by 2030.

From the way we use energy to the way we discard waste, UB is a leader in sustainability. We owe our success to the support and participation of the entire UB community.

For the past decade, UB has been a leader in environmentally smart construction. The university is undergoing a green building boom, with new LEED-designed buildings opening on all three campuses.

Think of the impact any small city has on the environment. Waste is created, water is used and energy is needed to power the community. UB understands that by focusing on sustainable energy measures, we can mitigate our environmental impact.

Bike Share at UB offers a GPS-enabled bike that you can find and unlock using your mobile phone. Use it to get around and between UB's campuses.
