A fact sheet detailing a USD 38 million green bond issued by the University of Vermount and State Agricultural College on August 21, 2019, to fund campus infrastructure and building projects.

• The University of Vermount and State Agricultural College issued a USD 38 million green bond on August 21, 2019, with a maturity date of August 1, 2049, and a tenor of 30 years. The bond is classified as a US MUNI and the issuer is a government-backed entity.
• Proceeds from the bond are designated for the construction of a new event centre, the renovation of a hockey arena, and the conversion of a gymnasium into a recreational facility. The construction of the new centre accounts for 96% of the total proceeds and is intended to meet LEED Silver specifications.
