Student on Scotland’s most environmentally friendly campus have designed a stunning wall mural as past of a competition sponsored by letting company Grant Management and their charity Global Trees.
The winning design, by student Ishy Walters, will be unveiled on Thursday and will sit in the universities internet café, a prominent position within the new campus.
It is hoped the design will inspire students to adopt environmentally friendlier ways of living, and it signifies a commitment between the university and the carbon neutral company to further embrace sustainable ways of living and building.
Founder of Grant Management and Global Trees Peter Grant said:
“Helping the planet is a big issue for the students and young professionals who form the bulk of our tenants, and it a big issue for us as a business. Property accounts for 52% of all carbon emissions, so by going carbon neutral we’re offering students the choice to live in a more sustainable way.
“We are delighted to be sponsoring this mural - supporting Queen Margaret University in their goal to create a low carbon university allows us to extend that message.”
Student winner Ishy Walters said: ‘I am thrilled to have won the Grant Management / Global Trees Mural competition to raise awareness of environmental impact. I really hope that this bright positive visual image will encourage people to work together and make the changes which will have a real impact in supporting the ecology of our natural world.”
Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Queen Margaret University Anthony P. Cohen added:
" The mural competition was an ideal vehicle for our students’ creativity, and has been an excellent demonstration of their talent and imagination. We are delighted to have Grant Management as our corporate partner supporting our commitment to environmental sustainability. We look forward to developing our relationship in the future."
