Cornell’s Lake Source Cooling facility has been in operation for over 15 years, providing the campus with low-carbon, clean cooling, direct from Cayuga Lake. Learn how the LSC project has remained one of the most significant environmental initiatives ever undertaken by an American university to promote a sustainable future.

The 2013 Cornell University Partners in Sustainability Award (CUPSA) has been given to the Building Bridges Initiative.

From recycling to energy, Cornell is forging ahead with environmental programs in sustainable development. These are recognized as critical issues by the university's leadership and the campus is on the brink of emerging as a global leader in sustainability.
