可持续发展奖项及认可

2012年飓风桑迪之后, 体育买球APP朗格尼商学院开始对其基础设施进行改革，强调弹性, energy efficiency, and green building design. 我们的曼哈顿校区，位于曼哈顿的东侧，它的建筑是 first in the world to receive the highest-level Platinum certification under both Performance Excellence in Electricity Renewal (PEER) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) under the U.S. 绿色建筑委员会.

In 2018, our Manhattan campus achieved PEER Platinum certification recognizing its power system efficiency and energy reliability. The following year, the Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion and Science Building 获得了USGBC的LEED认证的最高铂金级别, 国际公认的创新可持续建筑设计标准, construction, operations, and maintenance.

我们在可持续发展方面的成就已获得超过45项能源和环境卓越奖. Most recently, 我们获得了2020年能源和绿色建筑卓越圈, 2019年全球25大环境卓越奖, 2019 Greening the OR Awards from Practice Greenhealth; the 2019 Climate and Health Innovation Award from Healthcare Without Harm; the 2019 Leadership Award from USGBC. 我们还获得城市土地学会颁发的机构发展优秀奖.

体育买球APP格罗斯曼医学院也是纽约州的一个成就者和先行者 REV Campus Challenge for clean energy commitment.
