The University of Louisville has once again been named one of America’s greenest higher education institutions.

For the eighth consecutive year, U of L has landed in the top 100 in the Sierra Club Cool Schools rankings. The 2016 list, released Sept. 6, ranks U of L at No. 42, jumping almost 30 spots since last year.

Justin Mog, assistant to the provost for sustainability initiatives, said the scoring was based on U of L’s latest rating in the national Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS).
