Brock University has launched a $100M initiative to reimagine campus sustainability and position the university as a climate action leader. The SPARK (sustainability, performance, adaptation, renewal and knowledge) initiative focuses on reducing Brock’s carbon footprint, targeting an 83% reduction by 2028, and reducing the university’s energy usage by 60%. The investment will be used to retrofit the university’s critical infrastructure, such as by converting lights to LEDs, optimizing building automation system controls, and installing efficient hot water heat pumps. Additionally, SPARK will create knowledge transfer activities that use the campus as a living lab.
