From green-roofed bike shelters to more convenient recycling, Bowling Green State University is continuing its progress toward campus sustainability. Beginning later this year, the campus will be able to park bikes under a canopy of succulents and toss recyclables into a nearby bin, with support from two new grants.
Building upon the success of its bike share program and the green roof on The Oaks dining center, the university will use a $50,000 grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to install two large bike shelters with plant-covered tops. BGSU received one of the seven grants awarded statewide.
Already in use in Columbus and coming soon to Ohio State University, the shelters accommodate 18 to 20 bicycles each. The metal bottoms are bolted into existing concrete or asphalt pads.
