Sustainability
St Hilda’s is committed to a sustainable way of life. From staff to students, we all make the effort to be environmentally friendly and ensure that we are doing all we can to leave the earth the way we found it for future generations. We are always looking for new ways to reduce the Colleges environmental footprint.
HOW WE LIVE SUSTAINABLY AT ST HILDA’S
- Solar Panels were recently installed upon two of our buildings and a roll out is planned for other buildings in coming years
- Alongside our regular building refurbishments, great efforts have been made to make eco-friendly changes to our accommodation such as Double glazed windows, Energy efficient LED lighting and energy efficient 6 star rated hot water service
- All rooms are stocked with recycling bins
- We all know how much students love their coffee! New students are gifted with a keep cup to reduce the need for single use coffee cups
- Our gardens are planted with drought friendly plants and watered with grey water collected at the college
- We are a smoke free zone
SUSTAINABILITY MOVING FORWARD
Living sustainably is an ongoing commitment. The exciting Dining Hall extension project commencing in 2019 will see the inclusion of further environmentally friendly measures, including the installation of more solar panels.
