How is sustainability actually perceived by students at CAMPUS 02 UAS?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

As part of the Sustainability and Ethics course, students explored this question systematically. In a Sustainability Rally, they analysed infrastructure, processes and everyday practices at CAMPUS 02 UAS, with the aim of making sustainability performance visible and identifying concrete areas for improvement. This article is based on a summary by the course lecturer, Rafal Fabianowicz, BA, MA, MSc, FHEA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Teaching Content, Method and Learning Objectives<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The course is part of the Department of Marketing & Sales curriculum and combined several learning objectives: understanding sustainability, developing reporting skills and fostering applied thinking. The chosen method was Design Thinking\u2014observing with empathy, defining problems, outlining solutions, prototyping and reflecting. Educational research shows that Design Thinking enables students to develop sustainability competencies in a practical way and to create interdisciplinary solutions.<\/p>\n

Where Sustainability Is Already Visible \u2013 A Solid Starting Point<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The students\u2019 analysis paints a nuanced picture of sustainability performance at CAMPUS 02 UAS. In several areas, key measures are already clearly visible. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The building design was particularly frequently highlighted in a positive light. Large windows and glass surfaces allow for extensive use of daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Students also observed that lighting is partially reduced in the evenings\u2014an indication of an existing awareness of energy conservation.<\/p>\n

The groups considered the photovoltaic systems at the university to be of long-term strategic importance. These were seen as a clear commitment to renewable energy, both from an ecological and an economic perspective (CO\u2082 reduction and cost savings). In addition, LED lighting and motion sensors already installed in certain areas were identified as positive efficiency measures.<\/p>\n

In terms of sustainable mobility, several groups emphasised the good public transport connections, including nearby bus stops, as well as the numerous bicycle parking facilities. This makes climate-friendly travel significantly easier. The location on the outskirts of the city was also perceived as an advantage: less traffic, a greener environment and a calmer learning atmosphere. Sustainability here was interpreted not only in technical terms but also in terms of atmosphere.<\/p>\n
