Does the institution have programs in place to protect and/or create wildlife habitat on institution-owned land?:
Yes

A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:

Formal programs to protect and/or create wildlife habitat do not currently exist, however the preservation of green space is very important to our urban campus setting that is located next to the 500 acre Schenley Park.

There are campus spaces where wildlife habitat is untouched; for example, the Gates and Hillman Center has vegetated roofs and slopes that allow for wildlife habitat and the campus has several green roofs which help to increase bio-diversity.

The southside of Gates and the WQED bridge area were both intentionally landscaped to improve habitat, approximately 2 acres total.
