- Ho Science Center: Employs heat recovery technology to recover energy from exhaust air streams.
- Trudy Fitness Center: In 2011, Trudy became Colgate's first official green building achieving LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. VIDEO, STUDENT RESEARCH
- Lathrop Hall: Lathrop is striving to become our first major renovation to achieve LEED certification.
In addition, all new buildings and renovations utilize our centrally monitored and controlled energy management system that minimizes heating and cooling by closely monitoring water, steam, and electric usage.
