Sustainable Real Estate at UM

Maastricht University is working to make its real estate healthier, more circular and low-carbon. This includes improving energy performance, reducing emissions (Scope 1 & 2), and integrating nature-based solutions like green roofs and biodiversity-friendly landscaping. By embedding sustainability into every stage of real estate planning—from renovation to new builds—UM is creating a campus environment that supports wellbeing, climate resilience and future-proof design in the long-term.
