| Area managed in accordance with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that uses a four-tiered approach | 698.85 Acres |
| Area managed in accordance with an organic land care standard or sustainable landscape management program that has eliminated the use of inorganic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicides in favor of ecologically preferable materials | 0 Acres |
| Area managed using conventional landscape management practices (which may include some IPM principles or techniques) | 0 Acres |
| Total area of managed grounds | 698.85 Acres |
If the total area of managed grounds is less than the total campus area, provide:
Glenlea and Ian N. Morrison satellite campuses are excluded from the IPM. The two campuses total 1406 acres of experimental agricultural land maintained outside the general control of the University's Physical Plant.

A brief description of the institution's approach to energy-efficient landscape design:
Tree planting/replacement program takes into account shading.
A brief description of other sustainable landscape management practices employed by the institution (e.g. use of environmentally preferable landscaping materials, initiatives to reduce the impacts of ice and snow removal, wildfire prevention):
