Stormwater Management & Water Conservation Features
Rainwater Harvesting
Reuse captured rainwater for toilet flushing and irrigation, conserves potable water
Where: Academic & Student Recreation Center, Engineering Building, Epler Hall
Stormwater Planters
Slow and filter runoff reducing the rate, quantity, and pollutants before water flows back into the river/watershed
Where: 12th & 4th Aves, Montgomery Green Street, Urban Plaza, SRTC, Walk of the Heroines
Pervious Pavers
Allow storm water to seep into the ground, reducing erosion, helping to filter pollutants, and recharging ground water
Where:Native American Student & Community Center, Biology Research Greenhouses, ASRC 5th floor patio, Shattuck Hall Ecological Learning Plaza
Bioswales
Contain plants that filter storm water runoff, helping to remove pollutants
Where: Helen Gordon, Epler Hall
Green Roofs
Enhance the lifespan of a roof, reduce building's storm water runoff, and mitigate rooftop heat loss/maintain cooler temperatures
Where: Broadway, Native American Student & Community Center, Blumel Bike Shelter, ASRC
Research Projects: SRTC (green roof + solar compatibility), Cramer Hall, Shattuck Hall Ecological Learning Plaza
Water Efficient Fixtures
Low flow sinks, toilets, and waterless urinals conserve potable water
Where: University Place Hotel, Broadway, Epler, Engineering Building
