Sustainability is woven into the fabric our university; from the intention to set the IU campus among a woodland backdrop nearly 200 years ago, to 1968, when the mayor at that time, Richard Lugar, called for a “great state university in Indianapolis,” and to our present investment to encourage every Hoosier to play a role in creating a living legacy, committed to a sustainable future for all. Born out of the idea that collective action is a key factor in establishing a greener future, IU Indianapolis Sustainability serves to leverage creative ideas to move the campus forward.
