Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
Less comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that incorporate green infrastructure
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The landscaping around Parker Hannifin Hall is the bridge between a newer building and a newly-restored historic building. The design weaves a campus-connecting walkway through a space that includes seating and outdoor dining. Sustainable site elements include permeable pavement, micro-irrigation, high-SRI pavements, and native landscaping.
The newly constructed Center for Innovation in Medical Professions features pavers with a high reflective value to reduce the heat island effect. They were installed with permeable spacers to return rainwater to the sub soil.
The Recreation Center was constructed with large underground rain collection tanks for landscape irrigation purposes.
