In 2003, students in Anthropology 595 Environmental Decision Making in Applied Anthropology took part in a project which sheds light on the last century of University of Arizona campus design and use. Ten people were interviewed who had a significant role in, or who could lend historical perspective to, the way in which the University of Arizona campus has evolved over the years. The transcripts were revised and collated by Philippe Waterinckx, PhD student. Some of the key points discussed in the interviews include descriptions of how the campus landscape once appeared, how it was maintained, a campus plant walk, and the origin of some plant types now found on campus.
