District Sustainability Plan

SBCC is committed to creating a healthy environment through a holistic and integrated approach to implementing sustainability projects. With a proven history of academic excellence, SBCC is committed to enhancing student health and experience, while encouraging a District transition towards sustainability and resiliency.

Our Plan

SBCC's District Sustainability Plan is our vision for what sustainability means to our campus, our people, and our future. Our Plan was created with campus and community input and includes goals and strategies to reduce consumption of natural resources and provide the SBCC community with a healthier and more sustainable campus environment. Contact sustainability@sbcc.edu for questions regarding our status and planning.
