To determine what kind of green space students, faculty, and staff wanted to see more of in the future, and what their using habits were, we created a survey and collected over 100 responses from the Emory population.

First fully top-down aerial view of Emory's Atlanta Campus found in campus photographs. We were able to quantify the green space more accurately using the polygon tool in Google Earth
