Under the canopy of a sweet little Espresso Kentucky Coffee Tree by Res/Rec! Gymnocladus dioicus 'Espresso' is valued for its drought, heat, and cold tolerance, making it a hardy and adaptable tree for various landscapes.

Tamarack is a beautiful native conifer that loses its needles in fall. It is native to the Chicago region, but is on the list of threatened plants for the state of Illinois. Here's hoping #984 thrives!

We have both Northern and Southern Catalpa's on campus. Their large leaves make for great shade!

How amazing is this blooming Southern Catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides) by The Coffee Lab at Larrance Academia Center? The DBH is 43 inches, one of the largest on campus!

We have over 1000 trees on campus, with a wide range of species. From the 100+ year old tree in Old Main Plaze, to the ginkgos from the 50 Year Club of the NCC Alumni Association in front of Goldspohn. Do you have a favorite tree on campus? Do you know what it is?

While NCC has many modern, energy-efficient buildings, sustainability isn't just about what's new, it's about what we choose to preserve. Repurposing structures conserves energy. It’s a powerful way to reduce emissions while honoring the character and legacy of our campus.

As the heart of NCC since 1870, Old Main isn’t just a historic landmark, it’s a symbol of our commitment to progress and sustainability. Recent energy efficiency upgrades and smarter lighting systems help us preserve this iconic structure while reducing environmental footprint.

An accredited #arboretum, North Central’s grounds are meticulously cared for thanks to the College’s Operations team. This past spring, they introduced a new tree nursery, which is home to 85 saplings. Read more about this exciting addition to campus: bit.ly/3GCIrof.

Carnegie Hall stands as a bridge between our rich history and a sustainable future. Here, you will find receptacles for electronics and plastic bags. The Star Magnolia out front flowers beautifully in the spring, while the Sugar Maple to the right puts on an autumnal show.

Wentz Science Center: This 125,000 sq. ft. building was built to LEED Silver standards and is packed with features: -59.52 kWp solar system generates ~4% of the building’s large energy demand -White membrane roof boosts efficiency -Electrochromic glass windows auto-tint

We’re excited to welcome students, faculty, and staff back to campus for a new semester at North Central College! As you settle in, take a moment to notice the sustainable features all around you—LEED-certified buildings, native plant landscaping, and the serene campus arboretum.

Growth is happening all around us! Our saplings in the tree nursery are thriving. Each tree represents a promise for the future—cleaner air, shade for generations of Cardinals, and a greener campus. We can’t wait to see these saplings grow into the next chapter of our story.
