CMS Pilot Overview

The pilot projects include:

• Department of Utilities
• Greenhouses at Cornell
• Duffield Hall
• Former Chemical & Radiation Disposal Sites

Learn more about the Pilot programs below and view the Pilot Road Map which demonstrates the steps Pilots will take to implement the CMS.

Utilities

The Department of Utilities was selected to be a participant in the CMS Pilot program due to its broad range of safety, health and environmental aspects and potential impacts.

Greenhouses at Cornell

Cornell's greenhouses, already a leader in New York State for their Best Management Practices Program, were selected to participate as a Pilot. Learn more about the Greenhouse Best Management Practice Program at http://greenhouses.cals.cornell.edu/BMP_Intro.html.

The greenhouses, which serve as both teaching and research facilities, provide a unique opportunity for testing the CMS. Currently, the CMS is only being trialed in the greenhouses managed by the College of Agriculture and Life Science (CALS) at Cornell's Ithaca and Geneva campuses.

Duffield Hall

Duffield Hall is Cornell's cutting-edge facility for nanotechnology and advanced materials. It is the first of three new facilities at the core of the university's New Life Sciences Initiative. Faculty and students from across Cornell work together in Duffield's shared labs.

Former Chemical & Radiological Disposal Sites (CDS/RDS)

The former Chemical Disposal Site (CDS) and former Radiation Disposal Site (RDS) were selected together as a Pilot program. The CDS/RDS has unique regulatory requirements that are not applicable to the rest of the University. This makes the site an excellent resource as it serves to broaden the trial arena of the CMS.
