Project description:

The SLLC (Sustainable Living and Learning Communities) Back 40 / North Entry Project created and implements a student/community-centered design and sustainable management plan for a North Entry and the SLLC’s shared community greenhouse, food forest, bee sanctuary and social gathering space in the Northwest part of campus. The project provides connectivity and improves accessibility to student resources like the ASUCD Community Gardens, the SLLC Greenhouse & Food Justice Garden, the Domes co-housing community, and the Student Farm.
