Celebrating our 50th with a courtyard makeover

Now that the Applied Health Sciences (AHS) Expansion Building is complete, we’re turning our attention to the outdoor courtyard bordered by three buildings.

“The courtyard has great potential to be a vibrant outdoor space for our students to enjoy year-round,” says Recreation and Leisure Studies (RLS) Chair Troy Glover, who co-ordinated a design charette in early June to gather community input for the project.

Some of the ideas put forward include installing a deck, redesigning the pathways to make them more inviting, expanding the green space and possibly including a community garden.

“Outdoor space is important for both physical and mental health,” says Troy, “so it’s a natural fit for AHS.”
