A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
Franklin has created plans for storm water management for both construction projects as well as daily campus activities. The construction site for the newly constructed dormitory was terraced and swathes of land were left unpaved or covered in gravel to mitigate and minimize any ecological impacts of the new building. Furthermore, all campus green spaces are terraced so that irrigation and rainfall continues down the slope to return back to the lake. Additionally, at our main campus, a grated pipeline has been installed along the length of the greenbelt that carries all drainage water down to a major pipeline. This pipeline diverts all water back into Lake Lugano.
