campus 3-hour challenge

The Beautification Committee is thrilled to launch MUN’s first Spring Clean-Up, in partnership with Facilities Management and the Office of Sustainability and Climate Action.

Everyone, including staff, faculty, and students, is welcome and encouraged to volunteer. This event not only helps the environment but also provides an opportunity for participants to get active and meet other members of #TeamMUN. It will be a fun event, followed by a coffee-meet-up and prizes!

Beautification Initiatives

 

Street Art Wall

In support of the beautification of campus and the creation of a greater sense of place the MUN Street Art Wall will serve as a pilot project. It aims to:

  • Contribute to a stimulating public realm, to beautify and enrich the experience of St. John’s campus of students, staff, faculty, and visitors

  • Beautify St. Johns campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland

  • Create an opportunity for mural commissions that reflect the past, present, and future vision of Memorial University of Newfoundland

  • Support artistic expression and stimulate innovation on St. Johns campus

  • Build local, extra-regional, and provincial artistic capacity

 

Adopt a garden

2022 is the Year of the Garden and perfect timing to launch Memorial’s first Adopt-A-Garden program. If you love gardening or would like to learn, students, staff, and faculty are invited to adopt a garden on St. John’s campus. Everyone is welcome! Join as an individual or as a group.
