In order to provide a pleasant outdoor environment for visitors, students, faculty, and staff, the Landscaping and Grounds Department, led by Jay Jascott, manages and maintains campus landscaping and outdoor hardware through the coordination of several teams, including the mow crew, detail crew, flower crew, mall crew, irrigation crew, general utility crew, and chemical application crew and greenhouse operations. As a bonus, the grounds crew produces all seasonal color in the greenhouse from seed as well as all mulch and compost from all collected debris from across campus. In the event of severe weather, the team removes fallen trees and debris as well as applies sand and ice melt to campus streets and walkways after ice or snowfall.
