15. Observations Green Space Pervious surfaces allow water to percolate into the soil where it is cleaned, cooledand slowed down before reaching water bodies or ground water tables.

16. Observations Plaza Space

17. Observations Major Open Spaces

18. Observations Impervious Surfaces Impervious surfaces –such as pavement, roofs, and other compacted areas - send rain water into the storm water management system. Unfortunately, increased impervious surface also increases the volume and velocity of water entering the system which can result in back-up, over-flow, and ultimately flooding due to poor drainage.

19. Observations Impervious Surfaces [Aggregated] Impervious surfaces take up 80% of the campus.

20. Observations Pervious Surfaces [Aggregated] Pervious surfaces take up 20% of the campus.

22. Observations 125’ Topography 108’ Highest Elevation Lowest Elevation The elevation changes from a high point on campus of 108’ at the athletic field, to a low point of 65’ at the edge of Eberhardt lawn. There is a 43’ change in elevation across campus, from East to West. 65’
