New York University’s Kimmel Center in partnership with NYU's Sustainability Office, will display "Sustainability at NYU: Did you know?", an exhibition showcasing the programs and initiatives spearheaded by the university over the past five years.

The gallery will be unveiled at a launch event on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at the Kimmel Center, with a reception immediately following at the NYU Open House Gallery, 528 LaGuardia Place, NYC.

The exhibit, free and accessible 24/7 by the public, will be on display in the street-level Kimmel Windows Gallery, located at La Guardia Place & West 3rd St until May 18th, 2012.

"Sustainability at NYU: Did you know?" is 13 large street-level windows composed around different aspects of NYU’s sustainability efforts and encourages members of the NYU community to learn more and get involved with NYU’s green initiatives.

Each 3D window display contains graphics and images designed to engage and educate the viewer about NYU’s central sustainability themes, including green building projects, sustainable landscaping, The NYU Bike Share, and cogeneration plant. Windows are tagged with a Quick Response Code (QR Code) which if scanned with a smartphone, will lead the viewer to additional multimedia information on the Internet about the display.

"The exhibit not only demonstrates the sustainability successes that have taken place on campus, but also recognizes the challenges ahead that can only be faced with the help of the larger NYU community," said Pam Jean Tinnen, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Kimmel Galleries.

The exhibit recognizes and celebrates NYU's efforts put forth from both administrative and grassroots levels over the past five years. NYU has vastly improved its environmental performance while working toward building a campus culture dedicated to innovative and ecologically sustainable practices. The windows demonstrate that NYU’s sustainability efforts have focused on doing more than simply "going green," but that NYU is developing effective models for a more peaceful and prosperous global community.
