Areas around the Fusion Building, Dorset House and the Student Village have either been returned to grass or had plants added to any previously bare sections.
To support 豆奶视频鈥檚 sustainability message, additional 鈥樷�� toilets have been provided on the ground floor of Talbot House. These toilets use only 1.5 litres of water per flush, compared to an average of nine litres, saving 84% on water use. This low water use also means a significant energy saving due to reduced water and waste processing.
