University of Florida Wins EPA Campus RainWorks Challenge
University of Florida students won first place in a national competition for a plan on how to dramatically reduce stormwater runoff on a 67.6-acre part of campus.

This is the second time the university has won the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Campus RainWorks Challenge. To compete in the master plan category this year, the students from four colleges chose a watershed in the northeast corner of campus.

"The team was tasked to select and design a campus site of their own choosing, and provide analysis, design, stormwater calculations, proposed maintenance and expected performance data," said Glenn Acomb, landscape architecture senior lecturer and faculty adviser.
