Loyola School of Environmental Sustainability Tour
IWWSG is having a special August meeting! Join us for this tour at Loyola led by Dr. Nancy Tuchman, who was awarded IWWSG's E. Ted Erickson Award in April and presented about the campus sustainability program at that meeting.
Lake Shore Campus
The school is located at 6349 N. Kenmore, Chicago, 60660
The highlights of the School are it’s 3,100 sq ft greenhouse with aquaponics and hydroponics facilities where students studying sustainable food systems grow and sell their organic produce and tilapia, the geothermal heating and cooling system (largest in Chicagoland) which heats and cools 217,000 ft3 and the biodiesel laboratory where students use the waste cooking oil from cafeteria deep fat fryers to make biodiesel that they sell to our shuttle bus company which takes students between the Lakeshore campus and the downtown Water Tower campus. There will be lots of time for Q&A throughout the tour. If people are interested, and time allows, we can also tour the campus and all of it’s sustainability features which have earned LUC ranking within the top 5% of green campuses in the US, and carbon neutral.
