MSU always is encouraging students to "be spartan green," and for a school that wears those colors, some say it's the right move to make. MSU has started several initiatives to advance that progress in the past, said Jennifer Battle, assistant director of campus sustainability. In particular, several MSU buildings have been certified "green" under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, standards.
LEED certifications are awarded on the basis of environmentally-efficient building and design practices, according to the U.S. Green Building Council's website.
In particular, the recent addition to the Chemistry Building has received LEED certification, Battle said. On top of that, all of MSU's current construction projects are LEED-certified, Battle said. Going forward, MSU will look to continue such practices in the future, she said.
