The Association of Physical Plant Administration (APPA) has presented UCLA with its 2014 Sustainability Award, recognizing UCLA’s commitment to sustainability as an academic institution.
The award, which APPA inaugurated in 2012, recognizes the facilities management department that has integrated sustainable policies and "green" practices throughout all facets of the organization and embedded them within the educational institution. UCLA is one of more than 1,300 North American universities and colleges in APPA, which strives to raise recognition for facilities management professionals in higher education, as well as for the value and impact of educational facilities and their direct impact on the recruitment and retention of students, faculty and staff.
