Sustainability - Illinois State

Working on an innovative sustainability project or have a great idea to improve our campus? Apply for funds from the Student Sustainability Committee to support your project!

Pardon our Dust!

The Office of Sustainability is undergoing an exciting transition to better serve our campus by defining and executing sustainability goals and objectives at Illinois State University. The Office has welcomed Elisabeth Reed as its new Director. We are busy working to redefine what sustainability means to ISU by expanding the impact, efficacy, and collaborative nature of the Office of Sustainability, both on campus and throughout the Bloomington-Normal community. (Please excuse our mess while we work through this transition and update our website!)

In addition, the Office of Sustainability has physically moved from our old location in on Normal Avenue to a shared space with the Office of Energy Management at 305 N. School St. Please stop by for a visit anytime!
