In all new construction projects, Amity ensures that local biodiversity is accounted for. Planning processes incorporate sustainable practices, reducing impact on the environment.
Three academic buildings on the Amity University Haryana Campus have received certification as LEED PLATINUM for their green building design, operation, and maintenance. This is the highest rating granted by the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in July 2017; the buildings are among the most educational in Asia and India.
Amity University Haryana exemplifies how institutions can preserve biodiversity while undertaking infrastructure development. Located amidst the Aravalli hills, known for its unique flora and fauna, the university carefully planned its construction to minimize environmental impact and uphold ecological integrity. Key measures included preserving native trees through transplantation, adopting eco-friendly materials, and incorporating water-saving technologies. The campus design integrates green spaces like parks and gardens, providing habitats for birds and insects, and rainwater harvesting systems ensure groundwater conservation. Efforts to protect local wildlife included maintaining wildlife corridors and creating habitats for displaced species. The university's sustainable landscaping uses native, drought-resistant plants, reducing water and chemical use while supporting long-term biodiversity. These initiatives reflect Amity University Haryana's commitment to harmonious development, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices and protect natural heritage.
