Adding Stormwater Resilience to the Community
Water Week 2024 Highlights Importance of Responsible Water Management
Loyola is dedicated to smart water management that preserves natural resources and protects our neighborhoods. As part of a multi-phased initiative, the University is building stormwater resiliency that diverts runoff from city sewers and prevents it from carrying pollutants into Lake Michigan.
Loyola’s annual diversion of water from city sewers will support neighboring businesses and residents in the community surrounding Loyola’s campus with significantly increased capacity. When complete, the annual reduction of stormwater discharge would fill Cloud Gate more than 17 times–or connect Chicago to Houston via one-gallon water jugs.
See our campus infrastructure in action through the video above and learn more about protecting our resources during Water Week events.
