Environmental Sustainability
Western College proves it IS easy being green!
Our new state-of-the-art premises are built to a four star green rating – reflecting Western College’s commitment to both educational and environmental sustainability.
Designed and constructed to cutting-edge ‘enviro’ specifications, the building includes:
- The use of water and energy saving plumbing;
- Energy efficient heating and cooling systems to minimise the use of artificial heating and cooling;
- Environmentally “smart” glass and design features aimed at maximising the use of natural light;
Western College understands its responsibility as a business to ensure environmental sustainability, and is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to being ‘green’.
Staff at Western College follow a stringent recycling policy and are encouraged to follow best ‘green’ practice in their approach to administration and training delivery.
The College is intentionally positioned close to public transport, and both students and staff are encouraged to avail themselves of this access in order to minimise the use of vehicles, thereby reducing the college’s environmental footprint.
