SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS

Working as a group, supported by community placemaking events and projects for participation, the committee made possible recommendations on areas of beautification to be addressed in the short- and long-term. 

  • Projects are scheduled one at a time to roll out in phases annually, some by campus destinations, others by categories
  • Types include: general clean up, landscaping to align with the campus master plan, wayfinding to align with university graphic standards and plan, lighting, fencing, public art and outdoor objects like bike racks, and outdoor areas for gathering.

Being mindful of time-frames, costs, and prioritization:

  • Some efforts are addressed with volunteer groups, related student classes, while more extensive, complex projects are completed by Facilities Management.
  • Projects complement the important work that our Facilities Management team perform daily with limited resources and staffing. 

Funding will come from the campus beautification fund, which is 100 percent donor supported.
