Our new campus "1 Mile Walking Trails" provide a convenient option for all employees and students to refresh during the midst of their demanding schedules, while increasing their daily physical exercise. The "1 Mile Walking Trails" at each campus are intended for everyone, each campus map has a designated one mile interior and exterior marked trail indicating the number of lap(s) required.
