Stormwater green infrastructure across campus

On our campus, you will find many different designs of green infrastructure designed to manage stormwater flows before the runoff enters the stormwater system. Below are links to five of the many stormwater green infrastructure sites across campus. with a designed purpose. The Center for Ecological Planning + Design is developing a Landscape Lab in Research Park to explore the benefits and functionality of different green infrastructure designs and different species compositions.
