The GSA’s
commitment to sustainability has already been recognised in an Eco Campus Award
(Bronze Medal) earlier this year. With
the addition of the recently installed biomass boiler powering the Garnethill
campus and the opening of the Reid Building, which has been designed to
maximise its sustainability, the GSA’s green credentials are set to be further
enhanced.
