Green Building Features: Peter W. Stanley Academic Quad

The Peter W. Stanley Academic Quad was dedicated on May 17, 2007, and marked the final project of a restoration project for the Academic Quad district - Mason, Crookshank, and Pearsons Halls. The quad acts as a garden and courtyard space between these three academic buildings.

• Reduction of turf by 5,000 square feet
• Drought-tolerant landscape choices
• Highly efficient closed-loop fountain to reduce water use
• Bioswales to collect and filter stormwater and drain it into the natural aquifer
• Outdoor teaching and social spaces
