Water Bottle Filling Station Riles Third Floor
Project Summary:
The College of Arts and Letters (CAL) is making everyday life a little greener for the Riles building community by installing a new Elkay water bottle refilling station on the third floor. Led by project leader Cassandra Cisneros, this initiative replaces an out-of-service traditional fountain with a modern, sustainable alternative. The new station is a welcome upgrade for the approximately 1,200 students, faculty, staff, and guests who visit the floor each academic year. By providing a highly convenient way to refill reusable containers, this project actively supports the community’s commitment to avoiding single-use plastics. It also provides much-needed peace of mind, ensuring everyone in Riles has reliable access to fresh, filtered water even when the building’s second-floor station is undergoing routine maintenance.
