Recycled Materials in Res Halls

The residence halls were constructed with materials made from recycled content, including structural steel, concrete, gypsum board, carpeting and insulation. More than 20 percent of these materials were manufactured within 500 miles of campus, and approximately half of the wood-based materials came from established, managed forests. Waste from the construction site was carted off for recycling or reused on campus. After Sanborn Hall was demolished in Phase I, a portion of the building was ground up and used as base material to structurally reinforce the new basketball courts.
