Abstract
The Straub Hall Green was constructed in 1951 in conjuction with the building of the EMU. Fred Cuthbert was the university landscape architect at the time, however, it is unkown whether or not he designed this space. The paths within the Green have not been altered since its initial design, and many of the trees are remnants of the Stafford residence that formally occupied the space. The oldest tree in the Green appears to be a large Douglas fir near the corner of 15th Avenue, and dates back to the early Inception Era. The 1910 Senior Bench was relocated to the Green shortly after its completion. The bench used to be located in the Old Campus Quad near Fenton Hall and is the only one of its kind on campus.
