A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
The university has undegone stream restorations for Glen Stream (from Glen Garage to Glen Towers) and Towson Run Stream (Towsontown Garage site). We have also constructed green roofing to reduce run off for 2 of our buildings: College of Liberal Arts and West Villiage Commons. The campus master plan encourages building on already impervious land and greening the campus overall. We also have several underground water management structures to control the quantity and quality of runoff located in Glen Garage, West Village housing, CFA, East of Burdick, and a regional facility north of Lithicum Hall.
