At Middlebury, sustainability is about more than our renewable energy projects and 'green' buildings. It is an integral part of how we teach, work, and play.

With innovative ideas from the campus community, a supportive administration, and the oldest undergraduate environmental studies program in the country, Middlebury provides a unique atmosphere to explore real-world problems. At Middlebury we have set milestones for carbon neutrality and renewable energy, for greening athletics, and for increasing local foods in our dining halls.
Bringing it all together
Located in the heart of campus, the LEED Platinum Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest serves as a hub for ideas and action. Home to the Dean of Environmental Affairs, the Sustainability Integration Office, and the Program in Environmental Studies, the people in the Franklin Environmental Center provide support and coordination for campus initiatives throughout the college.
