Construction of the Sharp Sustainability
Education Center continues. The building will
be completed by the end of 2008.

Since its founding in 1969, Ramapo College of New Jersey has had a commitment to sustainability.  As the world around us has come to realize the importance of renewable energy, pollution control and elimination and "green practices", we have renewed our commitment to sustainability.

With the groundbreaking of Ramapo College's new Sharp Sustainability Education Center, the recent approval of our Strategic Plan establishing sustainability as a fundamental principle, and the signing of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, Ramapo continues to dedicate itself to creating a more sustainable campus.
