They are part of the college’s “Vertical Greening – An Eco-Initiative” drive to be eco-friendly whilst offering a conducive learning environment for its students.
Cool Features
The living walls protect west facing walls of the campus building from the intense tropical sun. These walls mitigate the heat island effect and reduce the energy required for air-conditioning, hence decreasing the carbon footprint of the College.
Green Appreciation
Apart from aesthetic and environmental benefits, the green walls convey the message that nature can be incorporated within the steel and concrete jungle. This allows the college community to enjoy the tranquility of nature within their campus grounds.
