The tree and shrub count is about 1,100, giving the campus a tranquil, park-like setting. The physical surroundings are enhanced even further by the Swan Pond, a symbol of Mount Allison since its introduction in 1901. It has traditionally been the site of picnics, cultural events, orientation activities and wintertime skating. The past few years have witnessed a number of improvements to the facilities. A three-phase project to upgrade the underground steam and electrical tunnels was completed, and the University seized this opportunity to spruce up the landscaping, particularly in the heart of the campus.
Improvements continue to take place to enhance the learning environment.
The traditional use of red and grey local sandstone, plus continual efforts to beautify and upgrade facilities, offers a setting that honours the past, yet embraces the future. This document maintained by the WWW Designer .
