Energy Use
Loyola pushes the boundary of what a University can do with new buildings and its shrinking energy footprint. We aspire to be a “Net –Zero” energy campus through massive conservation efforts, renewable energy installations and living greenroofs.
Energy use on the Lake Shore Campus has been reduced by 18% since 2008, saving the University over $6.2 Million in energy costs. Loyola's smart infrastructure is sustainable infrastructure.
