You feel it the moment you step on campus. This skin-prickling, all-encompassing energy that extends from our classrooms to our labs, from the playing fields to the Oval, from our campus into the Fort Collins community. It’s a feeling that connects us all, inspiring us to do our best and to be our best—for ourselves, each other, and the world.

And it’s a feeling you won’t get anywhere else.

There’s an Endlessly Renewable Energy That
Powers Us All

At CSU, you’ll learn about sustainability in the classroom and experience it everywhere you go across campus. It’s built—literally!—into the very foundation of our community with the state’s largest underground geothermal systems and extends to support our living labs, renewable energy projects, green buildings, sustainable transportation, and so much more. Together, we’re inspiring the kind of unstoppable change that can power a healthier planet.

Sustainability In Action

Feel that Colorado State
Energy

There’s this energy we all share on campus. We feel it in the mountain air, the views west to the mountains, and the very soil beneath our feet. It’s a feeling that powers us all, fills us with purpose, and inspires us to connect with our community. Whether we’re biking to class, hiking Horsetooth Mountain, or in the lab looking for a solution, it’s an energy that’s everywhere and part of us all. So tap in and feel it for yourself.
