Built with sustainability and smarts in mind Cottonwood Canal Arbor, Polytechnic campus
Located in a former parking lot, this arbor provides welcome shade while the adjacent courtyard recaptures precious rainfall that irrigates native riparian trees and plants. Eco-friendly construction has been crucial for recent building additions to the Poly campus. Residence halls have integrated photovoltaic panels, recycled concrete found on site and other building materials during their construction and the use of stabilized decomposed granite on walkways helps reduce the urban heat island effect. A campus community garden helps students understand food systems, waste management, electricity and water conservation in the desert.
