Pursue new strategies and solutions with tangible, scalable impacts
Our Mission
We aim to transform MIT into a powerful model that generates new and proven ways of responding to the unprecedented challenges of a changing planet via operational performance, education, research and innovation on our campus.
Our Story
MIT’s Office of Sustainability (MITOS), established in 2013, is integrating sustainability across all levels of our campus by engaging the collective brainpower of our students, staff, faculty, alumni, and partners. We have set out to ensure that sustainability is a critical part of MIT’s standard operating procedures and is fully integrated into the working, research, teaching, social and cultural spheres of our campus. By enabling the MIT community to embrace agility, change, and collective problem solving, MITOS is helping the Institute invent, model, and reimagine the unique power of campus sustainability to impact the world.
