Outdoor areas on campus are a great place to sit and enjoy the weather and beauty of the hilltop. These areas reflect the richness and vibrancy of what makes the St. Ed's campus special.

As an ongoing effort, Campuscape identifies different outdoor locations that would be ideal for added seating or updated seating.
