HFC offers hydration stations on both campuses

Due to the efforts of the Sustainable HFC Committee, the College has installed several hydration stations across the Main Campus and one at the East Campus where students and employees can refill their water bottles. Plans are underway to add more hydration stations at both campuses.

In addition to convenience, the core purpose of the hydration stations is to significantly reduce plastic waste. A single hydration station in the Science Building (Bldg. J) was used 7,014 times in its first 10 months, representing 7,014 plastic bottles that never needed to be created and sold.

Where to fill up

The hydration stations are in the following locations:

• The Learning Resources Center (Bldg. A): Wall unit with counter outside Rm. A-104 near the restroom. Sponsored by the HFC School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Phi Theta Kappa.
