Yes
None
A brief description of the program or practice:
Western plants tolerant perennials (e.g., at the Clinical Skills Building) so no irrigation is necessary. The only places that are watered on campus are the new trees and the garden displays. As well, Western mulches all perennial flower beds in a 3 year cycle.
Furthermore, the CMLP Building has a green roof covered with flats of drought-resistant sedum, a hardy garden plant, making it a very low-maintenance roof.
