Green Impact
Clare College has taken part in the University’s Green Impact competition since it was first extended to Colleges, and consistently achieves gold or platinum awards. In 2023-24, we also received two special awards, one for Environmental Improvement for the riverbed redesign, and one for Innovation for Engagement for the Tangled Planet exhibition. If you would like to be involved, or to find out more, please contact the Buildings Department.
