A long-awaited makeover of ACC walking paths is here! On December 4, Northridge was the first to cut the ribbon on an improved wellness and walking path, now dressed up with fresh, modern signage, mileage and step counts, and sustainability features. Project organizers, campus leaders, and avid walkers—both students and employees—enjoyed a brisk walk around the loop on a chilly, drizzly day.
Two more campus paths have been restored. Cypress Creek Campus will hold its ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 29, and South Austin Campus will celebrate on February 5. Each event includes vendors promoting wellness and sustainability and activities with giveaways. Watch for events at other ACC campuses in the spring.
The project is a collaborative effort between ACC’s Employee Wellness Program, the Sustainability Department, and the Facilities Information Systems Department to encourage employee wellness and promote sustainability.
In connection with the project, organizers have launched an interactive wellness walking path map to make campus exploration even easier.
