Green College

Redlands is a green campus

At the University of Redlands, we encourage you to become a better citizen of your community and your worldand we lead by example, teaching and supporting environmental responsibility.

Through green buildings, the cogeneration plant,  recycling  programs, ridesharing, and other activities, we demonstrate our commitment to the environment every day.

  • Named a "Green College" by the Princeton Review '10, '11 
  • Named a  Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation
    '09, '10, '11
  • A charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment

Given our location near Southern California’s highest mountains, in a place Theodore Roosevelt once called “a sight for the gods,” it’s easy to see why Redlands places such a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship as a piece of our elevated learning experience.
