2002 Landscape Master Plan
The 2002 Landscape Master Plan
This plan was pursued as a recommendation of
the 1997 plan to formulate a vision and strategy for
improving the campus image, to encourage an appreciation
of its existing conditions and potential,
and to provide a general direction for preserving
and enhancing the campus landscape. The plan
was created with the assistance of Jeffrey L. Bruce
and Company, Forcade and Associates, Mark M.
Mahady and Associates, and Turf Diagnostics and
Design. It uses the term “landscape” in its broadest
sense to cover all aspects of the landscape, including
open space, plant materials, the contour of the
land, and the nature of walls, steps, pavements,
buildings, and furnishings. The specific objectives
of the Landscape Master Plan included:
••
Coordinating elements and concepts of the 1997
Campus Plan, including parking, vehicular
movement, pedestrian access, and bicycle routes.
••
Illustrating specific landscape recommendations,
incorporating organizational principles of land
use, access, image, and environment.
••
Establishing concepts and recommendations
for improving the exterior environment of the
campus that reflect an appropriate scale and
variety of materials to support the campus
image and environmental quality.
