Sustainable Campus Development Clinic
February 12-14, 1999
Davidson College
 On
February 12-14, 1999, Davidson
College hosted the clinic, co-sponsored
by Associated Colleges of the
South and the National
Wildlife Federations Campus Ecology,
which addressed sustainable building design, landscape, and transportation.
The Sustainable Campus Development Clinic provided a more in depth
understanding of these issues, by addressing the various problems
and solutions to ecological design, as well as suggesting strategies
for the implementation of these solutions. This
clinic ultimately helped to create a more cohesive master plan
to the building,transport, and landscaping on the participating
campuses.
One important aspect of the clinic was its "team" approach. The
majority of participating institutions sent a team comprised of
two students, faculty, physical plant staff members, and an administrator.
Throughout the weekend teams collectively used their own diversity
of experience coupled with the speakers information to create a
project plan and strategy for each topic area. The goal was to have
the representatives from each institution return to their campuses
and be able to put their ideas to practice at all levels of college
life and operations.

NEW ACS INITIATIVES

The two-day clinic produced a number of exciting new ideas.
While non-ACS schools clearly benefited from the team format, this
report will limit its discussion of new initiatives to those put
forth by ACS schools. To see what progress these schools have
made over the past year,
