Cooler, Safer, and Inviting: The Benefits of Shade on Campus
Adding shade to a college or university campus enhances student comfort, promotes outdoor learning, and creates inviting social spaces.
Shaded areas reduce heat stress, making courtyards, walkways, and seating areas more enjoyable year-round. They also protect students and faculty from harmful UV rays, contributing to overall health and well-being. Additionally, strategically placed shade structures can improve campus aesthetics, increase sustainability by lowering cooling costs, and encourage outdoor collaboration, fostering a more dynamic and engaging academic environment.
