S
ome of the most beautifully landscaped grounds can be found on university and college campuses. Trees are tall, shapely and protective. Deep green grasses almost always circulate sublime, freshly mowed scents, and gardens are lush with breathtaking blooms. Autumn’s welcome mat is
brilliantly tinted in glorious vermillion, burnt ochre and bronze. Even winter snow and ice can appear romantic in quilted crystalline.
Aside from the painterly setting, academia also evokes emotions sometimes lost in today’s hurry-scurry business world. There’s a sense of nostalgia and lightness of being. Many corporations, social associations, nonprofit organizations and other groups appreciate the appeal of a college or university environment as a meeting, symposium or convention venue. Campus conference centers are often steps above the traditional meeting site. Technology is streamlined, service impeccable, and details discerning in eagle-eye attention.
