In February 2018 we hope to launch a regular campus gardening club, called Green Minds, which is being supported by the university’s facilities management team. The Green Minds project, which could also act as an effective vehicle for mental health referrals amongst students, could also play a valuable role with promoting staff wellbeing. A clear by-product is that a garden-based activity project can also enhance the look and feel of each campus, linking to university-wide efforts to enhance campus ‘vibrancy’. Initially, Green Minds will run as a pilot www.cumbria.ac.uk/sport 06 UOC Active - Winter 2018 Already a number of small scale projects have been identified that could be targeted around campus to facilitate people’s engagement including a poppy-lined route along the entrance to campus from Bowerham Road to coincide with 100th anniversary WW1 Remembrance activities nationally, a fruit tree area which could also offer produce for the kitchens, e.g. an espalier project, an ‘outdoor’ classroom space surrounded by scented plants (akin to a sensory garden space) “The campus has much green space and more bird and bat boxes to encourage wildlife. that is relatively ‘blank’ and could look so much more appealing”, said Mark. One option to keep costs down is to encourage “We hope we can encourage staff and staff to contribute cuttings or plants from their students to get involved with short own gardens (brought to a repository on campus) bursts of gardening activity which will for use in planting up areas.

Check out the posters on campus for next dates, which are usually the first Thursday in the month, leaving the Dalton Building entrance at 12.05, with walks lasting approximately 30-35 minutes to neatly fit your lunch break.

The existing Barracks buildings (1880), The Harold Bridges Library (1976) and The Chapel (1967) contribute to the character of the campus today. The site has distinctive features including a large portion of green amenity space and mature landscape and from certain locations provides fi ne views across Lancaster reaching out to Morecambe Bay. The campus has several site constraints which will be addressed in this document including many poor, dysfunctional and unused buildings situated on the site. The University has asked John McAslan + Partners to create a new masterplan for the campus and expressed the need to clear redundant building stock at the site and consolidate the campus to reduce maintenance back log. In part this will provide future development opportunities for new purpose built academic and residential estate. An aspiration to raise future revenue for the University is considered in the masterplan through the proposal to dispose or redevelop surplus land, improving student accommodation to meet market expectations and through consolidation of the campus to reduce overall maintenance costs and energy use.
