Bigger Changes

These are grassy and mulchy areas around Centennial Hall that would drastically benefit from an increase in biodiversity and could also make the area better. Low maintenance plants would also benefit the university, as costs for maintaining the plants would be low. Some of the recommended plants to replace these grassy areas are listed below.

Transforming the grassy areas around Centennial Hall to look similar to the picture on the right is much more work and less probable than replacing some invasive species around the building, but Centennial Hall would be an ideal location to replace the grass, as the other grassy areas on campus are utilized more by students, such as Hurt Park and the Greenspace. Replacing the grass with beautiful native plants would also benefit the universities reputation of being an "ugly campus" and could promote more productive usage of grassy areas around campus.
