The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is committed to transforming the way our buildings are designed, constructed and operated through LEED — the top third-party verification system for sustainable structures around the world. Three campus buildings at JCCC are included in their list.
Every three years, JCCC participates in reviews by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Their evaluation criteria, the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System (STARS), offers the campus a chance to evaluate thousands of measures related to campus sustainability, from energy and waste to affordability, access, and curriculum.
