Cutting overhead costs and embedding sustainability have never been more critical for colleges and universities. The COVID-19 pandemic has made this even more urgent. Enrollment is down, competing priorities are straining budgets, and pressure is growing for campuses to become sustainable. They must achieve their economic and environmental goals to stand out from their competition without diverting budget from student acquisition and retention.
Aging campus infrastructure demands high energy costs, maintenance expenses, and carbon emissions. Upgrading infrastructure will reduce operational expenses, attract students, ensure a safe environment, and free up resources for campus offerings. However, with budgets strained, many institutions don’t have the capital. Working with the right partner can help them meet their sustainability goals with financing that requires no upfront investment.

For colleges and universities, sustainability isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ – it’s a key component enabling them to free up resources to create a better learning environment and give them a competitive edge. The stakes are high:
Higher education institutions in the U.S. spend over $6 billion on annual energy costs across 5 billion square feet of floor space
75% of applicants say that a college’s commitment to the environment would affect their decision to attend that college
In response to the challenges of COVID-19, 79% of college presidents consider the mental health of their students as the most pressing issue
