6Green Campus Project
The Green Campus Project is an on going effort to
further increase the environmental efficiency of
John Hay and ultimately the community.
The space between John Hay our neighbor school
the School Of the Arts will be merged and the
street between them will be eliminated to form
one large green space. The green space will
eventually be developed into an athletic area.
7Green Campus continued
Indoor Courtyard Our school library opens to an
enclosed courtyard. The environmental club plans
to liven the courtyard by adding plants,
fountains and other décor.
John Hay will have a solar panel installed in
July 2007 with participation from the community.
This is a partnership with The Legacy Schools
Project.

Skylights in the third floor dining hall
Some features of our buildings re-design
include low flow fixtures in bathrooms, motion
sensitive room lighting, energy efficient
windows, and skylights in the third floor dining
hall that allow natural light to enter without
excessive heat buildup.
Our building has an Energy Star rating of 91.
This means it ranks in the top ten percent of all
schools in the United States.
9Paper Recycling Project
Recently John Hay began a school wide recycling
program. After receiving a large bin from
Abitibi-Consolidated, every classroom began to
recycle paper products which include newspapers,
magazines, phonebooks and others.

11 Where is Dike 14 Located?
- Dike 14 is located along the shoreline of Lake
Erie in Cleveland.
12 Information about Dike 14
- Is home to many animals like coyote, deer, fox,
mink, rabbits, raccoon), and reptiles. - There are also many different species of
vegetation like trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and
grasses. - The location of Dike 14 is ideal for migrating
birds it is a great resting spot. - For this reason, almost 300 different species of
birds have been spotted at Dike 14!
13 How was it created?
- The Cuyahoga river has been an important part of
Clevelands industrial structure. - The steel industry expanded along the banks of
the river in The Flats. Large iron ore
freighters need to get to the mills. - In order to make the river easier to navigate,
the United States Army Corps of Engineers
regularly removes sediments from the bottom of
the riverbed. - These materials are deposited in Contained
Disposal Facilities (CDFs) - In this process, oil and other harmful chemicals
were collected in the soil.
14- Dike 14 is not yet open to the public because
there are different toxins in the soil. It is
still being tested.
15 Our Plan for the Sample Garden
- We are going to plant an estimated 10ft. by 20ft
sample garden. - The Port Authority is one of the project
sponsors. - We plan to start the project in April.
