Have you checked out the new “trees” that have grown on the fourth floor of the Vermont campus?
There’s a Banyan, an Indian fig tree whose root network grow to become trunks. A single mature tree can cover several acres, Google tells us.
You can also now find a Larch, a coniferous tree found in the northern hemisphere. Its resin yields turpentine, according to Google.
And there’s also Juniper, another coniferous that’s part of the cypress family. And the berries of the juniper are used as a spice in a wide variety of culinary dishes. And, of course, in gin.
So, why are we sharing this lesson in botany? Because these are the trees used to name the new open space collaborative areas on the fourth floor.
These are meeting spaces without walls, although they have all of the equipment you’ll find in traditional meeting spaces. Wander up or down to the fourth floor and give them a look. Then you can reserve them via Outlook.
