The University of Colorado was founded in 1876 on the plains of
Boulder, Colorado. It all started with one building. In the
time since, it has expanded to include over one hundred buildings.
As one can imagine, the growth of the University has had an extreme
effect on the environment around it. The landscape has gone from
one of grass and shrubs to one of concrete and planted trees. This
project examines the changes on campus from a completely permeable
environment to an environment that has become for a large part
impermeable. The area being mapped is highlighted by the red square on the left. It is the area including Hellems, Education, Denison, and University Collections. |
