Pfizer Sanford

Overview

Pfizer approached the Initiative with a request for help envisioning a more sustainable campus that also better engages the 1000+ staff with the surrounding nature. In response, the Initiative has created a multi-disciplinary research team with faculty from the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, the College of Natural Resources, and several private sector consultants. This team of experts has come together to help Pfizer re-think their 230 acre campus to better serve their sustainability goals as well as their staff wellbeing. The study team conducted 3 sub-studies including a landscape management assessment, a biodiversity assessment, and an ecosystem service assessment of the property in the summer and fall of 2023.
