Pat Jacobs, Assistant VP of Facilities Management, talks about the upcoming changes made to the water conservative project.

Jacobs said, “We’re developing some Demonstration Gardens on campus through funding we got from the CSU. And in this particular location, this Demonstration Garden is going to be a combination – low water use and rock garden that’ll be used by the Science departments.”

Students Katherine Cotzajay shared her thoughts on the Garden Project.

“We need more green areas on our campus, and it’ll be nice,” said Cotzajay. “I think it’s a cool idea to make the campus prettier, more beautiful, and more presentable,” said Adrianna Cardoza.

The areas that are now brown originally were grass areas. The plan is to take out the grass and install new drip irrigation systems and install water conservative drought resistant plants.

“The work is probably going to take about 60 days,” said Jacobs. “In all likelihood, these projects should be completed about the time that we begin the winter quarter in early January.”
