Walking across the green is something students do all the time as they hurry to and from classes, but as pretty as the green is — and it is gorgeous during the spring and summer times — it’s never truly operated as a campus hub. Occasionally it does play host to events. Last Thursday, June 2, students from Geography 464, an urban planning course, set up shop just outside Tim Horton’s with the goal of making the green a more vibrant, entertaining place.
One of the students involved, Rose Harding, sat down with The Cascade to describe exactly what she and her classmates were aiming to accomplish. “This is a class project, where we’re trying to promote place making. We’re trying to create an environment to show what UFV could become,” said Harding.
Lately the green has seen a larger variety of students using it as a space for them to host classroom related projects and entertain their fellow students. Harding and her peers were simply the latest to partake in this trend — one that promises to continue.
