Campus Maps
OSU Sustainability Map
OSU Facilities Management Landscape Services has played a pivotal role in enhancing our campus environment by developing comprehensive maps that showcase the integration of gardens, art installations, sustainability initiatives, and the campus arboretum. Through planning and collaboration, these maps serve as invaluable guides for both visitors and the campus community. They not only highlight the beauty of our gardens and the significance of our art installations but also provide essential information about sustainable practices and the diverse flora within our arboretum.
