Whether it’s an interviewing research professor, a visiting student with family, or a potential dean, they all meet with the campus landscape first. A well-maintained campus landscape speaks volumes about the school’s pride and attention to detail. Ensure that the first impressions of your school help visitors decide to stay and join your community.
On the car ride in, families and prospective employees take in the sights and scenery that your campus landscape has to offer. Once the school welcome sign is in view, the transition to the campus visit has begun. Filling the entry drives and / or medians with vibrant shrub and flower beds layered with texture and color draws attention and and beautifies the campus landscape in all seasons.
After parking, visitors will make their way to their destination building. Adding annual blooming installations, such as flowering shrubs, perennials or annuals, on the entries of parking lots can help decrease the industrial feel of corporate campus landscape aesthetics. Choosing a landscape planting pallet with differing layers of shrubs, perennials, and annuals can help add pops of color while adding to the campus landscape greenery.
If choosing to lunch outside, visitors will want a welcoming, comfortable, & decorative area to enjoy their meal and discuss details of their visit. Campus staff and students will also appreciate trees as welcome scenery outside of office or classroom windows. Trees help in reduce stress, lower blood pressure and heart rate. All essential in students focusing and succeeding. Additionally, adding shade trees to campus will offer areas to relax out of the sun while providing us with clean air and a barrier from wind. Trees can significantly reduce the amount of energy a campus or school needs to generate for example heating and cooling expenses.
When students visit a campus, they are always on the lookout for social opportunities. By offering a well-manicured and safe green space in your campus landscape, you offer not only outdoor activities, but also options for study, picnic, and fitness. Decreasing noise and carbon levels will make students feel better about their carbon footprint while enjoying time with friends. Integrating game lawns to the green space enables social interaction.
