UNI provides students with a new way to hang out

Hammocking for students is a popular way to relax on campus. Many times, you can find students in between the trees, near the Campanile, or by the Curris Business Building. However, the traditional way of setting up a spot to relax among the trees can come with its drawbacks, including increased foot traffic on vegetation, external damage to the trees, and difficulty finding a spot.

In July, UNI Facilities Management collaborated with UNI Housing and Dining to provide students with a new way to hammock on campus. "We worked together to provide students with a safe and enjoyable alternative for relaxation and community-building," said Jonathan Butler, the assistant director of Campus Services.
