Ohio State fosters project-based learning opportunities and applied research to advance sustainability knowledge in practice, including on and around its diverse properties, with its external partners, or anywhere you can find a Buckeye. To help coordinate, promote and empower these efforts, the Sustainability Institute facilitates collaboration with academic units and university partners to track and increase the wide range of project-based sustainability learning and applied research activities that occur inside and outside of the classroom environment, including those that use our campus facilities as a living lab. Ohio State leverages their properties and buildings to serve as a learning lab for sustainability research, innovation and learning and to shape new solutions by providing a test bed for applying and scaling research. In collaboration with local municipalities to global industry leaders, Ohio State’s students, faculty, and staff address sustainability challenges at a variety of scales through project-based learning.

Sustainability in Action was created to track and increases the unique sustainability learning, education, and research opportunities occurring on our campus and beyond. It is built out of the Sustainability Institute (SI) and managed by faculty at SI. It hopes to add projects as they are reported so that there is a large database to see all the progress students/faculty have made on their sustainability work.
