Colleges and Universities: Using Shade to Make an Impact
When it comes to college and university campus landscaping … do looks matter? The answer is YES. According to Washington State University (WSU) News, Phillip S. Waite, assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architect, says that campus landscaping has a profound impact on campus choice.
College and university administrators, of course, know this and strive to provide inviting campuses that communicate to students that they care about them.
One way to differentiate one campus from another, is the use of eye-catching shade structures.
Shade structures not only provide for great visual impact to any campus, but they also provide students and faculty a place they can congregate and enjoy fresh air between classes.
