Introducing Green Workspace
The Green Workspace program is replacing the Green Office program with the first pilot cohort beginning in September 2023. Offices, departments, and other workspaces that are interested in participating in the Green Workspace program for spring 2024 must submit the Green Workspace interest form by November 1, 2023. Unlike the previous Green Office program, the new Green Workspace does not allow offices, departments, and other workspaces to register on a rolling basis. This allows the Office of Sustainability to establish semesterly cohorts that are able to network, collaborate, and learn together.
Those who are interested in getting a head start on the Green Workspace certification process can review the Green Workspace program requirements ahead of their cohort’s semester launch. If you have any questions, please contact sustainability@umd.edu.

Green Workspace vs. Green Office
Both Green Workspace and Green Office encourage UMD staff and faculty to make their physical workspaces and office operations more sustainable. The Green Workspace program also goes beyond the physical space to encourage staff and faculty to create a community of sustainability-minded colleagues and to further integrate themselves into the SustainableUMD Network.
