1. Natural Light: More windows throughout our buildings mean more natural light inside the buildings which, in turn, allows for reduced energy costs and a more inviting setting. 
2. Environmental Bathrooms: The dual-flush toilets and automatic faucets save on water being used and entering the wastewater stream, while the hand dryers help minimize waste. 
3. Water Bottle Filler: Ditch your single-use plastic water bottle! These fillers minimize plastic bottle waste and provide a convenient way to stay hydrated. 
4. Green Carpet Tiles: Created from renewable and recycled raw materials, the tiles not only save on waste but also improve air quality in the building. 
5. LED Lights: LED lights require much less energy and maintenance than traditional bulbs, which is why much of the lighting on the Elkhorn Campus uses LED lights. 
6. Passive Solar Lighting: This lighting reduces both electrical costs and our dependence on fossil fuels, making it a smart, sustainable choice for the pathways on campus. 
7. Walking Path: Promoting a healthy lifestyle and an appreciation for the environment, the path includes workout stations and the opportunity to view wildlife. 
8. Building Automation System: This system is used for lighting, heating and air conditioning on each campus, reducing energy use and the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. 
9. Electric Vehicle Charging Station: Students, staff and the community can utilize Gateway’s charging stations. Public stations make driving electric vehicles (EVs) more convenient and supplement at-home charging. 
10. Prairie Grass: Native plantings were installed to educate students on the benefits of native plantings, including less maintenance and no need for chemicals or fertilizers to thrive. 
11. Chiller: This cool piece of equipment forms ice at night, which melts during the day, cooling parts of the Elkhorn Campus in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. 
12. Solar Water Heater: Elkhorn’s solar water heater benefits the campus in multiple ways while providing hot water across its buildings.
