1 The Performance of Trees on Campus ar bo re tum [ahr-buh-ree-tuhm] noun, ar bo re tum a plot of land on which many different trees or shrubs are grown for study or display. Georgia Tech Campus Arboretum
2 Georgia Tech Landscape Master Plan a landscape unique to Georgia Tech - a Performance Landscape - joining technology and ecology to create great sense of place integrates landform, hydrology, soils, and biological communities trees shape microclimate and engage the hydrologic cycle, where soils drink in stormwater instead of discharging it into sewers, where biomass sequesters carbon, improves air quality and increases biodiversity. The landscape is also a cultural entity that integrates open space, buildings, circulation and human behavior and experience. Key Concepts:
3 Georgia Tech Landscape Master Plan Stormwater Basins
4 Eco-commons A Performance Landscape Goals: Develop integrated, ecologically-based landscape and open space systems (storm water management) Enhanced living, working, learning environment Unify the campus with a distinct sense of place Increase tree canopy, replace aging trees Create Eco-Commons (80 acres) Implement ecological performance requirements of 50% reduction of storm water runoff
5 Eco-commons A Performance Landscape
6 Completed Tree Inventory 95 ac canopy / 397 acres 25% coverage Note: The purpose of this document is to track and assess the tree canopy coverage within a defined area representational of Georgia Tech. This document is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent ownership. The limits delineated represent areas where Georgia Tech maintains or provides guidance regarding the landscape.

13 Landscape Committee Executive Leadership group with a focus on the campus landscape Landscape Workgroup Representatives from majority of campus units to discuss campus site projects and provide a platform for communication and awareness Tree Campus USA Committee Representatives from majority of campus units, students and adjacent communities with a focus on TREES.
14 Purpose Define the Performance of Trees Provide a platform for the development of educational tools defining the Performance of individual trees and the collective forest in the urban landscape Study at a variety of scales from the microscopic impacts of trees on soils to the regional impact of the urban forest Living Learning Laboratory Georgia Tech Campus Arboretum
15 Individual trees What they individually do for the Environment (List specific characteristics for individual tree species) Pollinator Species Wildlife attributes Food, shelter, etc Environmental monitors Phytoremediation (Using plants to clean soils) Highlight native trees and/or rare trees Georgia Tech Campus Arboretum
16 Individual trees What they do for People (Current/Historic uses, Cultural Significance) Commercial Value Construction uses Agricultural value Food sources Breeding material for existing crops Medicinal (known and potential for unknown contributions to medicine) Cultural significance Georgia Tech Campus Arboretum
17 Plant Community Performance Define tree/plant communities and benefits associated with them Micro climates (How trees create micro climates) Impacts on Buildings vs Buildings on Trees (Energy savings) Species Diversity (Possibly partner with ABG to house rare species as a disaster prevention plan) Increase Soil Biodiversity (need soil specialist to help with this) Use Plant Communities to establish plant collections Georgia Tech Campus Arboretum
