Whereas the second phase will be built this year from alumni from various generations.
"Aside of alumni concern for their alma mater, the construction of this park is one of the efforts to revitalize existing facilities in IPB. With the help of alumni, making a park as one of the facilities at IPB can be done. There are at least 10 potential points within the Dramaga IPB campus which are prioritized for the construction of parks. Such as in GWW, Academic Event Plaza, CCR, Gymnasium, Teaching Lab, IPB University, FMIPA and Arboretum exits, "he said.
