EcoLab: A Place Students & Staff go to Learn & Relax
EcoLab is currently a vibrant hub for student engagement and learning at Southwestern University.
Over the past few years, students have transformed EcoLab into a dynamic learning environment. They have created trails, posted informative signs, placed benches, sheds, trash receptacles, and even set up animal observatories. Soil testing and ecology research have also been conducted, contributing to the academic richness of the area.
One of the standout student organizations utilizing this space is BeeCo, a dedicated club that maintains seven active beehives. BeeCo not only hosts events but also fosters a deep understanding of bees and their crucial role in our ecosystem.
We hope that portions of EcoLab will remain intact and continue to be under the care of passionate and active student organizations, ensuring that its legacy of environmental education and engagement lives on.
