T Welcome! he UC San Diego Sustainability Resource Center (SRC) serves as a hub for materials and initiatives related to local, national and global sustainability. The Sustainability Resource Center is a collaborative effort between the Sustainability Program Office and the Student Sustainability Collective. Their shared goals include balancing environmental, social and economic stewardship as they relate to sustainability, maximizing campus and local outreach and participation, reducing the campus impact on the environment, and establishing a model for contributing to local, national and global sustainability. We invite the UC San Diego community to develop sustainable innovative solutions by utilizing SRC resources. Located in the heart of the Price Center, our LEED Gold certified center is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during academic quarters.
