University of Louisville Campus Master Plans and Sustainability Belknap Research Building University of Louisville

What is Sustainability Sustainability is about insuring that human existence can be indefinitely supported by the biological system of the Earth at an appropriate level of civilization. Heriberto Cabezas, Acting Director of the USEPA Sustainable Technology Division Sustainability is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Brundtland Report, United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development Sustainability is the ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future. Regional Ecosystem Office, Northwest Forest Plan

Sustainability is an Ideal Sustainability challenges us to think through the long term impacts of our activities on the economic, social, and natural environment. Sustainable development means making changes to the built environment that preserve biodiversity, minimize carbon footprint, support green energy initiatives, and maximize social harmony and economic efficacy.

What Specific Measures Are Needed for the Campus Master Plan? Anticipate future infrastructure requirements Create a physical setting that supports the university mission Integrate social, economic and environmental concerns

Master Plans in Context

Master Plan in Context-Sustainability Sweet Spot

Rating Sustainability Cities and Educational Institutions Are Assessed by different measures Climate change Carbon footprint Social and economic justice in investment policy Green credibility

Example Rating Institutions Sustainable Endowments Institute Clean Air Cool Planet SustainLane Grist Sierra Club US EPA Green Power Challenge* *Syracuse won Big East Conference

Committing to Sustainability The Tailoires Declaration CERES US Conference of Mayors Climate Change Initiative Cool Counties Most efforts are linked to the Kyoto Protocol and global efforts to address climate change and promote sustainability. And target a 40% reduction in GHG by 2050

Universities and Colleges American College and University Presidents Climate Change Commitment Association for the Advancement of Sustainability ( AASHE ) in Higher Education AASHE is developing STARS to provide a more rigorous and objective system to evaluate sustainability.

STARS Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System Collaborative effort of more than 90 Colleges and Universities Guide for advancing sustainability Enable meaningful comparisons between institutions Create incentives for improvement Rating not a Ranking system

Examples of STARS Credits Greenhouse gas emissions reduction: Has the campus reduced net emissions from 2005/06 academic year baseline (with offsets allowed)? Sustainable buildings: Do new construction and major renovations meet LEED silver, gold, platinum standards? Campus grounds: Does the campus meet USDA standards for organic crop production and landscaping, use nonpotable water for irrigation, maintain native plants and wildlife habitat on campus, use pervious paving materials, and reduce and filter storm water run-off?

Master Plan provides a foundation for sustainability on campus To meet both required and institution identified targets for ghg reduction and new approaches to energy use. To transform the campus from current state to a future vision more aligned with the university mission and needs. To integrate sustainability into decisions that are being made about buildings and the campus at all levels.

Campus Visit 3 3 1. Sustainability 2. Land Use Patterns The following materials reflect ideas. They are intended to stimulate discussion and institutional input. They are NOT final plans

Issues to Consider 1. Should the 2020 Kentucky Postsecondary Education System 2020 targets be used as the University s 20 year (2028) master plan target? 2. Should purchase the parcels being considered? Are the density levels tested acceptable? 3. Are the right uses located in the right places? (service/maintenance/support, performing arts, campus town etc)

Issues to Consider continued 4. Can greater relience be placed on transit, car pooling, bicycle and walking so that the ration of parking spaces can be reduced by 2028? 5. Should a system of parking decks be integrated within the academic core? Will users be willing to pay increased parking fees to support this or should more parking be utilized south of the stadium? 6. How critical is it to maintain s pedestrian scale with the central core
