©CAP DETAILS:
The CAP development is an initiative led by a
partnership between and the Mason
Sustainability Council's Carbon Neutrality Task Force.

The Task Force is working closely with Dumont
Janks, who worked with Mason on the most recent
Master Plan, and Arup, a global technical advisory firm,
to develop a new CAP.
Phase 1 of the CAP will be delivered to President
Gregory Washington prior to Mason's 50th Anniversary
in April 2022.

V Phase 2, which will begin in April 2022, will examine
greenhouse gas emissions from travel and commuting,
purchasing, food, and other sources.
