7. Proposed Green Roofs -Stamp Student Union -Hornbake Library -Edward St. John -Mckeldin Library Benefits -Green roofs cool and humidify the surrounding air creating a microclimate which has beneficial effects within the immediate area. -Green roofs create biodiversity, encouraging wildlife, such as birds, butterflies and insects, to remain within urban areas. - Increased life expectancy of the roof Areas of interest -Faculty Club -Lefrak Hall -Marie Mount Hall -Visitor’s Center

8. Trench Drainage System - High hydraulic efficiencies due to maximum waterway created by narrow load bars. - Bicycle and pedestrian safe - Simple installation The U shaped of drainage section can increase the drainage capacity; strengthen self cleaning capacity

9. Bioretention - Aesthetically pleasing if properly designed and maintained. Reduces amount of runoff from drainage areas. - Effective at removal of sediment loads, nutrients, traces of heavy metals, bacteria (possible) and organics found in stormwater. -Allows for a flexibility of design layout so able to fit this practice into most landscapes. -Relatively low maintenance requirement

10. Proposed Rain Gardens Lot W1 -HJ Patterson - McKeldin Lawn East - Parking Lot W1 - Morrill Quad East Benefits Filter runoff pollution Recharge local groundwater Improve water quality Enhance sidewalk appeal Increase garden enjoyment Areas of interest
