While the University of Oregon has been engaged in sustainability for well over 30 years, the Office of Sustainability was established in 2007 to coordinate the various efforts on campus and provide an official stance on such an important issue. The goal of the Office of Sustainability is to coordinate the wide range of efforts on campus and to provide interdisciplinary support.

The University of Oregon is committed to the triple bottom line and has become a national leader in campus sustainability through the efforts of administration, faculty, staff, and students. The University of Oregon is actively engaged in greening facility operations, innovative research, supporting and encouraging student initiatives, implementing environmentally and sustainability focused curriculum, and sponsoring public service initiatives.
