MenuBuildings
Our campus is constantly growing and updating to meet the needs of our community. This often leads to the construction of new buildings or large renovation projects to make campus space more functional.
We aim to make eco-friendly design and building choices in campus construction projects, and employ energy saving systems in university buildings.
