Landscape Management
The Landscape Management Department maintains 216 acres of main campus and a satellite facility (Lucy C. Huie Hall) in South Jonesboro. The Landscape Management department strives to enhance Clayton State University’s learning environment through designing, installing and maintaining beautiful and inviting landscapes. Landscape Management also installs irrigation systems throughout the campus that are provided by pond water. In addition, this department provides event setup and moving services for campus functions.
The campus is divided into seven zones for landscape maintenance purposes. Work is concentrated in one zone per workday to maximize productivity. The goal is to do substantial maintenance in each area of campus so that the entire campus gets some attention every five to seven days. The zone map is only a guide, since holidays, inclement weather, and special projects may cause the zone schedule to be modified frequently.
