The Physical Plant was one of the winners of the 2005 Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) Green Star Award. The Physical Plant received an Honor Award for University and College Grounds. Six colleges received the award in recognition of outstanding grounds.
The award was presented during the PGMS annual awards ceremonies Nov. 5 in Orlando, Fla. The Green Star Awards program brings national recognition to grounds maintained with a high degree of excellence.
