CSUEB Sustainability Commitment

Shared Strategic Commitment “Contribute to a

sustainable planet through our academic programs, university operations, and individual behavior.”

Institutional Learning Outcome “Graduates will be

able to act responsibly and sustainably at local, national and global levels.”

Facilities + Faculty + Students = Living Lab Achieving our commitment through the

curriculum

Trending In Sustainability For Higher Ed….

Campus landscapes can serve as living laboratories for reducing carbon footprints, conserving water and aquatic resources, supporting biodiversity, and building active, equitable social communities. Moreover, as learning landscapes, such campuses actively promote sustainable design by engaging faculty, staff, and students in the design and implementation process as a part of the pedagogy of place. This progressive focus positions universities as leaders educationally and environmentally (Way et al. 2012) Way, T. , Matthews, C. , Rottle, N. , & Toland, T. (2012).

CSUEB Has Rich Landscapes For Change

Hayward Campus Concord Campus

New Course on Sustainable Construction

Course Title CMGT 4XXX/6XXX Sustainable Construction and

Retrofitting of Buildings and Infrastructure Objectives

Extend and deepen CMGT students’ learning concerning sustainability

Build on green building theory (CMGT 4300/6300)

Focus on applied and practical aspects of sustainable construction management, life cycle analysis, and the retrofitting of existing buildings and infrastructure

Key Elements of Pilot Offering Buy-in from Facilities Development & Operations

Solicited ideas Jointly developed targeted scopes of work &

deliverables Support of Engineering program

Appropriation of existing “Special Issues” elective Small class size for pilot offering (10-15 OK!)

Project Management Two faculty plus TA Shared commitment to successful

execution/outcome Creative approach e.g. borrow equipment from

PG&E Learn what works, identify logistical/other

challenges

Projects for 2014 Pilot – Proof of Concept

Solar canopy/net zero potential for EV charging

Parking lot LED lighting retrofit feasibility Pervious pavement assessment and

demonstration

Initial observations and next steps

Observations 10 weeks goes by fast Quality TA will be

essential for success Good Scope of Work is

key Can do it on small budget

but funding source is nice 100% teamwork format is

a challenge Professional grade report

writing is a major time investment

Next steps Establish realistic set of

expectations Submit new course

proposal to CIC Develop project planning

manual, boilerplate, standard financial tools to save time

Develop clear rubrics for CLOs, grades

Promote to students Plan projects 6-12 mo.
