Numbers for plastic can be determined by surveying the bottom of the container. Styrofoam is categorized as plastic #6 (polystyrene). Dart Container in Urbana served as the primary vendor for Styrofoam recycling for both campus and the larger Champaign-Urbana community. |
| Sheltered Bike Parking at CLSL |
The goal of this project is to construct an area for students, graduate students, faculty, and staff who frequent the Chemical and Life Sciences Building and Roger Adams Laboratory to stow their bicycles in a secure location throughout the day (or night) that is sheltered from the elements. Proposed locations of this structure would be either one of the grassy spaces between these two buildings on the south side courtyard. |
