EPA Recognizes SMCM for its Environmental Leadership

In recognition of St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s commitment to green building initiatives and environmental leadership, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Green Building Council have cited the college for innovative, sustainable environmental practices and leadership in building design.

St. Mary’s College is the only college in Maryland to receive the EPA Green Power Leadership Club award and the first four-year residential college in the State to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified.

Awards from both organizations were presented to President Jane Margaret “Maggie” O’Brien at a State House alumni reception in Annapolis last week.
