Keeping our campus and our community safe and beautiful
Rockhurst commissioned a study of the greenery on our campus that both helped us understand the environment we created and let us plan better for the future. See some facts and a video about our campus foliage below.
Repurposing Materials
Rockhurst reused wood from trees removed due to renovations at Sedgwick Hall for new sustainability projects around campus. These include:
- Rock E. Statue in Alumni Commons
- Benches in Massman Hall
- Conference tables
- An obelisk inside Sedgwick Hall
New Benches Provide Create Earthy Feel Inside Massman Hall
5 new benches were built using the wood gathered from the trees removed near Sedgwick Hall and installed throughout Massman Hall.
Wooden Rock E.
Rockhurst created a new statue of Rock E. out of the wood from the Sedgwick trees. You can find the new statue in the Alumni Commons.
