Founded in 1866, the University of New Hampshire is a vibrant land-, sea- and space-grant university that is ranked among the top-tier research institutions nationally.

Created in 1997, the UNH Office of Sustainability is the oldest endowed sustainability program in higher education in the United States. In May 2006, UNH was also the first institution of higher education in the nation to receive ENERGY STAR® ratings for residence halls. It now has eight U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR buildings and another in the process of certification. UNH mandates that all buildings meet LEED-Silver or equivalent requirements.
