School of Environmental Sustainability Tours

About this event

Join us for one of our monthly guided tours of the School of Environmental Sustainability (SES) building. This engaging facilities tour offers an inside look at two of our flagship programs that exemplify Loyola's commitment to hands-on, engaged learning: the Searle Biodiesel Lab and the Urban Agriculture Greenhouse. Along the way, you'll explore the innovative sustainability features incorporated into the building's design, including the geothermal system that provides efficient year-round heating and cooling. As an interdisciplinary school, SES is home to faculty conducting research across a broad range of environmental and sustainability topics. Participants will also learn about current research taking place in our science laboratories and discover how campus-wide sustainability initiatives reflect Loyola's Jesuit values and commitment to environmental stewardship.

All tours will be scheduled at 4:15 pm with an estimated tour time of 45 minutes-1 hour. We will host one tour each month on the third Tuesday during the academic calendar. Tour dates for the Fall 2026 semester are: September 15, October 20, November 17. You can make your selection within the form.

This tour is open to community groups and/or single participants. We have a suggested donation price of $5/per person, which will be waived for prospective students. Please sign up in advance, for planning purposes.
