Inside UW Oshkosh

Renewed Future: Green Campus 

A regional and national leader in sustainability, we are committed to addressing issues concerning campus sustainability and reducing the University's environmental footprint through education and green initiatives. Our innovations in sustainability and renewable energy, such as reducing consumption and waste, building cutting-edge biodigesters, instituting green building and purchasing recycled products, have been and will continue to be integrated throughout campus and the community. 

Initiatives 

For two consecutive years, The Princeton Review has named UW Oshkosh one of the country's leading green campuses. The construction of Sage Hall, UW Oshkosh's newest academic building, and Horizon Village, a new suite-style residence hall, follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. UW Oshkosh completed the nation's first-of-its-kind dry fermentation anaerobic biodigester, which converts food waste from Reeve Union, plant waste and cardboard to energy. UW Oshkosh also is the first campus in the U.S. to be declared a Fair Trade University and has more solar thermal panels, to generate heat, than any other state institution. 

Get involved 

Students can get involved with green initiatives by utilizing the Zimride network, which partners students, faculty and staff to share rides. There also are many clubs and organizations with a sustainability focus for students to get involved in such as the garden club, food committee and the campus sustainability council, as well as activities like Recyclemania and Earth Week.
