Risk & Resilience

SFU is working to not only identify potential institutional risks associated with sustainability issues (e.g., climate change impacts) but look for opportunities to build the university’s resilience so that it can thrive during a time of major global shifts.

SFU’s Burnaby campus has a total campus area of 370 acres, of which approximately 40 acres are the footprint of the buildings and 190 acres are undeveloped land. The remaining acreage, approximately 139 acres, is managed landscape.

Sustainable Landscape Management

100%Of SFU’s managed landscape is managed in accordance with a sustainable landscape management program or managed organically.

Green Buildings

SFU subscribes to two green building certification systems: Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Design (LEED) and the Building Owners and Managers Association’s Building Environmental Standards (BOMA BESt).

In 2014, SFU’s Surrey Podium 2 project achieved LEED CI Silver for Commercial Interiors. A number of other buildings, across all SFU campuses, have adopted green building practices in their design and renewal, including Shrum Chemistry (right), which is targeting LEED Gold certification.
