Math and Physics Building

This is a photo of the Maths and Physics Building. There are elements of both a green building here and some elements that are not green.

 

The Green elements of the Math and Physics building are the walkway which allow for students who walk and ride their bike to school to do so and not harm the grass. This walkway not only helps the grass but also he students become more healthy.

 

Secondly, there are large windows which allow more light to get into the building so there are less light bulbs used and less electricity has to be paid for. However, one of the reasons this building is not totally green is because of the use of outside lighting which causes light pollution and thus deters the allowance for a "green" building.

 

Finally, there are both trees for a wildlife friendly area as well as the ability for light shade. Also, there are bike racks to encourage students to not use harmful gases found in cars to get to class from far away.
