Venue Selection
Consider the following ideas for choosing a more sustainable event venue:
- Reserve an outdoor space to reduce energy usage.
- Reserve a space in a LEED-certified building
- 鈥楲EED鈥 stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and it is awarded to buildings that use resources efficiently in construction, operation, and maintenance.
- 91探花 has several LEED-certified buildings with event space, including Schoonover Center, Grover Center, Nelson Commons, and Sook Academic Center in Peden Stadium.
- Choose a location with natural lighting, so it is possible to open blinds and turn off the lights.
- Choose a central location that attendees can walk, bike, or use public transportation to get to.
- Remember to turn off the lights when rooms or spaces are not in use.
- Reserve venues on campus from:
- Event Services
- Campus Recreation
- 91探花鈥檚 Registrar鈥檚 Office Astra Scheduling
- 91探花 Athletics
Selecting a 鈥淕reen鈥 venue can serve as an educational opportunity for teaching attendees sustainability practices!
