Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
pp. 57-58 of NYU's Environmental Assessment Report describes campus grounds maintenance:
"As a university “in and of the city” there is only limited opportunity for development of open and green space on campus.
Located in the heart of Greenwich Village in Manhattan, the core of NYU’s campus surrounds Washington Square Park. This 9.75-acre park is a public space, and is not included in NYU’s open space inventory. Nevertheless, the NYU community undoubtedly benefits from Washington Square Park for its greenery and role as a public forum.
The NYU Landscaping Department assessment of accessible campus space in April 2008 determined that NYU has approximately 6 acres of open space (nearly 269,000 square feet), not including Washington Square Park. NYU’s inventory of open space includes more than 50 sites, with a variety of garden and park amenities.
Projects range from a newly-proposed living wall at 22 Washington Square North, to the inner courtyard at Washington Square Village – which is the largest unpaved open space on campus, at 44,000 square feet."
