Landscape Committee
Established in January 2006, the primary function of the Landscape Committee is to promote suitable landscapes on the campus and develop recommendations for
landscape planning, implementation, and maintenance. This committee advocates the creation and support of sustainable campus landscapes that
serve as living laboratories to educate our entire community about landscaping best practices. This committee identifies areas for natural
landscaping, xeriscaping and formal landscaping while considering appearance, initial implementation and cost, as well as ongoing costs
for water use and maintenance.
Completed Projects
- Replanting of Columbine Hall beds with low-water perennials instead of annuals.
- Replanting of Columbine Hall trees with better drainage and drought-tolerant species.
- Educational signage project for 25 trees and plants.
- Committee input into design of new campus roundabouts emphasizing xeric plants.
- Purchase of new greenhouse to allow growing campus flowers from seed.
- Committee design input on new landscape at Department of Public Safety that was implemented in the spring of 2007.
Future projects
- Develop a Landscape Master Plan
- Complete campus map update
- Develop a Memorial Tree Policy
