Check out the sustainability efforts being made by UMKC. This blog series will highlight what’s happening on and around campus, student organizations putting in effort, and even competitions to help make blue and gold go green!

UMKC’s commitment to sustainability is visible across the entire campus. The new Student Union and the Herman and Dorothy Johnson Residence Hall are state-of-the-art green buildings. Sustainable gardening is at a student-led community garden, and the Student Union and Miller Nichols Library (MNL) have rooftop gardens. The Hub bicycle repair center helps keep students mobile and carbon footprint-free. Students and the community can stay informed through the Recycling-on-the-Go educational kiosk, and can use the solar recycling center east of the MNL.
