Trent University has a long-standing reputation for being a Green Campus
The Sustainability Office (SO) has many roles within the Trent and local communities. The foundation of our work is to assess resource use – electricity, natural gas, water and waste materials to identify best practices and innovative methods of reduction. Through these activities, the SO helps the Trent Community minimize our collective impact on the environment.
Trent University has a picturesque setting on approximately 1,400 acres, nestled on the shores of the Odenaabe River, with 30kms of nature trails. We have academic programing reflecting our long-held connection to and care for the environment with degrees offered in Environmental Science, Sustainability Studies, Indigenous Environmental Studies and much more. The SO strives to ensure that our campus operations are aligned with our teaching and research. We provide a critical link for students to the practical example of our own campus performance.
