The Office of Sustainability (OOS) serves as a resource, a catalyst, and an advocate for environmental sustainability at Tufts, often serving as the bridge between ideas and their practical implementation.
Tufts plays a crucial role in helping the world adapt to a changing planet while tackling such challenging issues as climate change and resource depletion. Our goal is to be leaders in the responsible stewardship of the physical environment by cultivating knowledge in our students and faculty of sustainable issues and solutions across disciplines.
From campus operations to the classroom, sustainability at Tufts is a collective effort spanning departments, offices, and all of our campuses in Boston, Grafton, and Medford/Somerville.
The OOS is supported by the university and works to:
Tufts Recycles, previously housed under Facilities Services is now also a part of the Office of Sustainability, and helps coordinate the recycling program and assist Facilities with Tufts' recycling and composting programs.
