Students for Campus Life Improvement- Green Space on Campus

Our project is basically improving student, faculties, and staffs’ quality of life by providing campus green space. We try to push our campaign to have New York City College of Technology to approve our proposal. We want to set up a few ideas to create campus green space. First, we proposed to have greens within the building like the hall way, stair cases, and even in classrooms. We want to do this because according to studies, nature can possibly help people concentrate a lot better. From their experiment, students were able to complete their tasks more efficiently under the nature than those who were not surrounded by nature. Second, we want to have a green roof system to provide a better place for students, faculties, and staffs to relax and have some recreational activities. Most of the roofs in New York City College of Technology is basically empty and just probably have a little equipment on there to provide services for the school. Instead of leaving these spaces unused, we can use these spaces to create an environment where people on campus can relax. I would not say it is good to throw a Frisbee or a football in this environment. But it’s good to be able to sit down, lay down in these environment with a book or simply just socialize with those around you. Other than providing a recreational use, the green roof system can also help the school and the environment. It can help the school by conserving energy, extending roof life span, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, and reduce pollutants and many other benefits I mention in my proposal. Last but not least, we can also set up a green wall system to provide a more appealing environment to those who attends City Tech. It is a non-invasive project and it helps to promote our school for using such system.
