The Rutgers Center for Green Building at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy forms a common umbrella for existing and proposed initiatives being carried out at the Bloustein School, the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (formerly Cook College), the School of Engineering and other Rutgers units that are integral to devel- oping and implementing innovative green building and sustainable community strategies. The Center conducts applied research utilizing prospective and existing projects, works with industry and government to promote green building and sustainability concepts, and develops undergraduate, graduate and professional education programs. Initial funding was provided by the Rutgers University Academic Excellence Fund and subsequently by strategic partners and clients and through various grants. The Rutgers Center for Green Building seeks to establish itself as the pre-eminent interdisciplinary center for green building excellence in the Northeast, while serving as a single accessible locus for fostering collaboration among green building practitioners and policymakers.
