ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ Community College's planting of a Miyawaki Grove. Read more about the grove here.

ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ Community College is at the forefront of sustainability efforts and educational offerings. 

From our Fall River campus' solar parking canopy and zero net John J. Sbrega Health and Science Building, to our numerous Energy and Sustainability program courses, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ is working to implement and pass on a legacy of sustainability. 

Among these efforts and initiatives:

• Student gardens – Located just south of parking lot #8, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ has raised beds for student and community gardening, a composting site, and an apiary area.
• Roof-top solar panels – One of the best-kept secrets on campus! Many buildings, including the new J Building have PV and water heating (G-Bldg.) solar panels.
• Solar Canopy – This project, completed in 2015, utilizes the rays of the sun to produce 40 percent of the campus' energy! The solar panels and canopy generate 3.3 million kHw of electricity annualy.
• Electric Vehicle Charging – ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ has 28 electric vehicle charging spaces spread across the Attleboro and Fall River locations, as well as the National Offshore Wind Institute.
• Wind Turbine – There is a wind turbine used for training and education behind G-Building. 
• Recycling Center – ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ has its own recycling and central composting area.
