UL Campus Grounds Brief Overview of works this year

Our team are on the ground uprooting, upgrading and uplifting across campus so that our grounds are in tip top shape. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we have introduced pollinator friendly practices on campus with the rejuvenation of natural areas and bulb and tree planting across the grounds, and the upgrade of the library and Arena entrances.

We invest in machinery to help us maintain natural areas and to get our day to work done including chemical free hard surface clean ups, riverbank litter collections and the completion of drainage works across ten acres of land.

We pay particular attention to our pitches making sure they are consistently fit for purpose to host day to day matches, Tag ruby events and Community Games throughout the year; and this year our civil engineering team installed new goal posts. We have also been on the ground delivering a number of projects during the year including soft landscape upgrade works at Plassey Village, carpark maintenance and a major storm clear up.
