Sustainability is a key priority at Keele University.
Since 1990 we have trebled our student population
and significantly expanded our campus - whilst
simultaneously decreasing our total CO2 emissions.
What’s more, we’ve turned our campus into a living laboratory by
creating Europe’s first ‘at scale’ Smart Energy Network Demonstrator,
where new energy-efficient technologies can be researched, developed
and tested in a real-world environment.
We were privileged to welcome Sir David Attenborough to campus
recently to officially open our new life science laboratories, which have
been named in his honour, as part of our £45m investment in science
facilities on the Keele campus. Sir David said:
“I believe that we are on a turning point. I believe that universities like
this one, which pays particular attention to sustainability, are right
at the cutting edge.”
