Sustainability is based on one simple principle: everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.
At Jamestown Community College, we are committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. That's why we've developed an environmental science program [1] and built our Science Center [2] to meet LEED Gold certification standards [3]. Take our virtual sustainability walking tour [4] to see everything we're doing to make JCC a greener institution.
