Combined wind and solar generate more than 20 percent of ONU’s annual electricity needs. • Founders Complex and Affinity Village Complex feature geothermal heating and cooling system to reduce energy use and water consumption. • Ohio Northern University is a 100 percent tobacco-free campus. • ONU has been recognized as a Tree Campus USA by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation for the past seven years. • Two electric vehicle charging stations have been installed on campus.
