Campus Crest Communities, today announced a partnership with SolarCity, a national leader in
clean energy products and services, to install more than 9,000 solar panels on its student housing
communities located in Greeley, Colorado; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Las Cruces, New Mexico.
When complete, the initiative will:
Provide more than 2.3 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power annually
Offset electricity consumption by approximately 50 percent
Eliminate over 80 million pounds of annual carbon dioxide emissions, the equivalent
of taking approximately 7,000 cars off the road for a year.
Ted Rollins, CEO of Campus Crest
Communities, and Andrew H. Young, Vice
President and head of Campus Crest’s
sustainability initiative said, “Sustainable living
is central to our company philosophy and
business practices, and we are pleased to find
that our residents are equally as passionate about the concept. Shifting consumption towards
clean energy will further our mission to be a leader in regenerative practices by using renewable
sources to limit carbon emissions and reduce overall energy costs, which in turn allows us to
provide our residents with cleaner, more energy efficient housing.
“This is a great start to our broader commitment to alternative energy and global regeneration,
and clearly demonstrates that if you are thoughtful, you can balance economics with
environmental and social agendas to create a thriving company. We continue to push our People
& Planet initiatives across our platform, and across our industry-leading residence life
programs.”
“Campus Crest is showing future generations
there are better energy options available by
giving students access to renewable power,”
said Toby Corey, Chief Revenue Officer at
SolarCity. “It’s possible for many housing
developers to pay less for solar electricity than
they pay for utility power and pass on the
benefits of clean power to their tenants—
SolarCity has completed more than 100 solar
projects for housing developments in the U.S.”
Said Josie Plaut, Director of Projects for the
Institute for the Built Environment and

2. Executive Director of the Center for Living Environments and Regeneration (CLEAR): “Campus
Crest is a great example of seeing today’s business leaders act responsibly and take a balanced
approach to drive meaningful results in all areas of their business. We are excited to be involved
with them and can see the progress they are making towards acting socially and environmentally
responsible while continuing to create strong returns for their shareholders.”
These projects reflect Campus Crest’s commitment to sustainability and making a positive
environmental, social, and economic impact on the communities in which it owns and operates
student housing developments. To help drive this initiative, the company has partnered with The
Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) at Colorado State University, a multidisciplinary
institute whose mission is to foster stewardship and sustainability of natural and built
environments, and the Center for Living Environments and Regeneration (CLEAR), a 501c(3)
non-profit organization focused on global regeneration (www.clearrevolution.org).
