Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Excerpt from Lima Campus Master Plan 2008, page 7.
Sustainable Campus. The consequence of recognizing the campus’s natural areas is to site, design, and manage future growth in ways that will protect the resources for decades to come, and honor a tradition of environmental stewardship. The most frequently heard planning principle in support of a sustainable approach is to “build a pedestrian campus.”
