ISTD Campus Ecology & Green Purchasing
The Georgia Tech campus is an integral part of our agenda to create a more sustainable society. The Institute for Sustainable Technology and Development (ISTD) supports campus management professionals responsible for developing and implementing our campus master plan and for facilities operations. In addition:
- we work with faculty to identify campus-related projects for their courses and help students find information and expertise;
- we support Tech's fifteen-year plan to build green buildings, use renewable energy, restore ecosystem functioning on campus, reduce the number of cars on the campus, and make walking and cycling more appealing and convenient;
- we encourage campus units to purchase recycled products by participating in Office Depot's statewide Green Purchasing program, and support our campus recycling services and energy conservation activities; and
- we sponsor Atlanta's largest Earth Day celebration, held on the Georgia Tech campus every April.
