Although there is no University policy regarding the use of xeriscaping landscape techniques, drought tolerant plants are used in a variety of flower beds across campus, and a large percentage of turf is not irrigated. Additionally, xeriscaping has been implemented in conjunction with LEED certified projects on campus, including the East Campus Dining Hall and Wayland Hall.
