Bucknell Center for Sustainability & the Environment

Bucknell's Sustainable Technology & the Built Environment Program builds on the University's advances in sustainable technology through research, programs and projects.

Using the campus as a living-learning laboratory, the Sustainable Technology & the Built Environment Program brings a collaborative, hands-on approach to a variety of topics, including:

Climate variability and change
Renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, biomass and more)
Climate change mitigation
Permaculture
Eco-landscaping

About the Program

The goal of the Sustainable Technology & the Built Environment Program is the cultivate student professional development using STEM and social sciences as catalysts. We blend the natural, physical, and social sciences to immerse members of the Bucknell community in tackling sustainability issues and working together to generate solutions. Together, we promote environmental sustainability both locally and globally.

Renewable Energy Scholars

Bucknell's student Renewable Energy Scholars don't just dream about a more sustainable tomorrow. We make it happen, today. We've helped bring a zero-impact, "living" greenhouse to explore innovative sustainable technologies, made our campus shuttle more efficient and reduced our waste and carbon footprints by increasing recycling among students. How will you make Bucknell more sustainable?
