Sensory Garden
The concept of a sensory garden was proposed by Kira Pierpoint, a graduate of the
Occupational Therapy Program. As a student, Kira was always searching for new ways to teach others innovative therapeutic programming for those with special needs.
The Findlay Green Campus Initiative (FGCI) designed the sensory garden specifically to serve as a therapeutic resource. It features areas attuned to each of the five senses for the purpose of soothing and relaxing stimuli. The garden is open to the community and is also available to classes to use as a "living laboratory."
Rain Garden
The Rain Garden breaks up the large sections of the parking lot behind the Egner Fine Arts Pavilion and the Mazza Museum with a green space and flowers. It adds interest for those entering the Mazza from the back parking lots. Members of FGCI maintain the garden during the summer months.
