Smart Hydration on Campus

In accordance with the University's Sustainable Development Policy; water fountains and bottle filling stations are installed in several locations on Campus. The fountains make accessing fresh water more convenient and promote healthy and environmentally conscious water consumption on campus. A number of the machines include a hot water feature as well for preparing hot beverages. Drinking water from these machines as opposed to buying bottled water has many environmental, ecosystem, and health benefits including: energy and overall fresh water consumption reduction, waste reduction, and lessening greenhouse gas emissions. Fountains can be found on each floor of the university buildings.
