The maintenance of the Hope Park campus, with reference to the following:
The Hope Park site is approximately 15 hectares, with 60 % of the land being sports pitches, gardens, open lawned areas, woodlands and car parks. An extensive footpath system serves the whole site with additional internal site roads providing access to car parks and delivery points. Hope Park is divided into an east Campus and a west campus, which are located either side of Hope Park, a continuation of Taggart Avenue. The University grounds have been attractively landscaped over many years with a mixture of well-maintained lawned areas, shrub and flower beds and gardens. There are also individual trees, groups of trees and small woodlands of which approximately 2 thirds are preserved under a Tree Preservation Order. The landscape of the site is constantly evolving with new and replacement planting adding to the attraction of the many herbaceous borders and additional young trees being planted at appropriate locations.
