Happy #FloraFriday from the Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) blooming now outside of Florida State University - College of Business/Rovetta! The Chaste Tree is a large, deciduous, multistemmed shrub, and is noteworthy for its clusters of fragrant lavender blooms in the summer which attract butterflies and bees. Vitex is native to the Mediterranean region, and the leaves have a spicy sage scent when crushed. #FunFact: the Chaste Tree produces fruit that contains 4 seeds which can be used as seasoning, similar to black pepper!#FSU #FloridaStateUniversity #BuildingExcellence #LavendarBlooms #ChasteTree #Shrubs #Pollinators

Tallahassee has encountered atypical weather patterns recently, including a record-breaking 24-hour rainfall of 7.11" on April 10 and 11. The team at the pipe and construction labor shops have been diligently addressing subsequent drainage challenges on campus as a result of the above-average rainfall, including cleaning out storm drains and implementing drainage improvements. Last week, the team began working on the area between Dirac Science Library and Woodward Parking Garage. #FSU #BuildingExcellence #Trades #Tallahassee #Drainage #Stormwater

When there's something strange happening in your pipes, who you gonna call? Facilities Maintenance! Last week, the Facilities Maintenance Construction Labor Shop responded quickly to an issue detected in the campus' utility infrastructure. A team quickly responded and the steam link was efficiently repaired. #FSU #FloridaState #BuildingExcellence #SteamLink #Facilities #FacilitiesMaintenance
