With the Huskies playing their first home game of the season tomorrow, it’s only fitting that we remind fans of the Stadium’s many sustainable features.
UW practices sustainability all over campus, even in the largest structure of all. During the 2012 Husky Stadium renovation, over 95 percent of construction waste was reused or recycled. Concrete was removed from the lower bowl, crushed on site, and reused for fill under current structure. Two large retention ponds to filter all wastewater before it entered Lake Washington were also created.
These are just two of the many modifications. To get a better idea of what went into making the Husky Stadium green, watch the video above.
And when you’re walking into the stadium to watch the Huskies take on Sacramento State tomorrow, look around and see if you can pick out some of these features.
