Operations

Conserve today. Thrive tomorrow. 

IU Indianapolis's commitment to sustainability is pervasive, and goes beyond an office of sustainability to ensure that together we are able to sustain IU Indianapolis throughout the university. 

Our office works closely with partners across campus to integrate sustainable practices into the daily operations of IU Indianapolis.  These indicators are a set of key metrics to help us track our progress towards the long-term goals, and are intended to reflect the vision defined by Campus Master Plans, the Bicentennial Strategic Plan, and IU Indianapolis's Sustainability Plan.
