Buildings help serve UBC’s academic mission by creating a sustainable, healthy place for teaching, learning and research, as well as places to socialize, live and play. The Green Building Action Plan highlights our strategic priorities for using the built environment to contribute to a net-positive campus that promotes human and ecological well-being.
A holistic pathway for academic and residential buildings at our UBC Vancouver campus towards a vision of net positive contributions to human and natural systems by 2035.
Since 2008 the BC government has required that all public-sector buildings, newly constructed or undergoing major renovation, achieve LEED Gold or equivalent certification.
The Residential Environmental Assessment Program (REAP) is a comprehensive green building rating system developed by UBC.
