Brock University
Summary
With the flip of a switch, Brock officially embarked on a more than $100-million journey that will reimagine campus sustainability and position the University as a leader in climate action.
A celebration was held Tuesday, Nov. 25 to mark the launch of the SPARK (sustainability, performance, adaptation, renewal and knowledge) initiative, which will drastically reduce Brock’s carbon footprint and accelerate achievement of its sustainability goals.
SPARK will see campus greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 83 per cent by 2028, surpassing the University’s initial target of a 75 per cent reduction by 2030 (compared to a 2013 baseline). The initiative will also cut energy usage by 60 per cent.
Several Brock projects aimed at reducing Brock’s carbon footprint and better positioning the institution for future success have been made possible in recent years with government support, including the District Energy Efficiency Project and Co-generation Plant upgrade, both which have significantly enhanced Brock’s ability to operate sustainability.
