Fort Lewis College
Student Life Center Self Sustainability - The Fort Lewis College students, faculty and administration collaborated in 1998 towards the creation of a sustainable building for recreation, outdoor pursuits and intramural programs for students. Funding for the building comes directly from student fees. Because of this factor the students had to approve the additional fees that would increase the construction of the facility. The motivating force to place emphasis on environmental and ecological features came directly from the student body.
