The Campus
The Brock University Campus includes over 162 hectares (400 acres) of property to be maintained. The natural beauty of the Niagara Escarpment on the north end of the campus is maintained in a natural state. There are several other nodes of natural areas throughout the campus as well. Most of the campus is maintained in a manicured way. There are many interior courtyards, along with the perimeters of the buildings and the sports fields which require intensive maintenance.

Use of the Campus
The campus is used extensively throughout the year, both during the academic year by the students and during the summer by many groups brought to the campus by Conference Services, Recreation Services, The Centre for the Arts, etc. This amount of intensive use creates huge numbers of people on the campus daily and our goal is to provide them with a safe, clean and aesthetically pleasing place to enrich their lives.
