Our Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
Our mission at the Hutchinson Center is to eliminate cancer and other diseases as a cause of human suffering and death. This is a mission we take with pride, passion and the utmost dedication.
Conquering disease requires a holistic approach of prevention, early detection and effective therapies that restore people to their maximum health. We also know that physical health goes hand in hand with a healthy environment. That's why a serious commitment to environmental sustainability is woven into every part of our work.
We are fortunate to conduct our research with the stunning natural landscape of the Pacific Northwest right outside our doors. Our 14-acre campus in Seattle, Washington, is surrounded by beautiful mountains and water, an ever-present scenic reminder of our obligation to environmental responsibility. For the past 20 years we have planned, built, expanded and operated this campus with a commitment to sustainability and efficient use of resources, and have been recognized with dozens of awards for environmental leadership.
As a member of the City of Seattle's Climate Partnership program we're proud to say we've achieved a reduction in our overall carbon footprint by 26%.
In partnership with Seattle City Light's Green Power Program, the Center has installed 12 solar panels that generate 2,900 kwh of electricity per year, equivalent to the power needed for lighting 20 standard offices. Check out the Hutchinson Center's current energy output.
