at Santa Cruz<br />
ca. 1965-67 • SANTA CRUZ, CA<br />
Established in the late 1950s on former ranch land at the head of Monterey Bay, the plan for this<br />
2,000-acre campus was modeled after English residential colleges - each college is focused on<br />
a specific academic discipline, with its own dining hall, dormitories, and classrooms. <strong>Halprin</strong>’s<br />
mentor, landscape architect Thomas Church, completed the campus master plan in a regional<br />
style that incorporated the native redwood forest and mountainous topography.<br />
<strong>Halprin</strong> was commissioned to design the landscapes at three of the residential colleges:<br />
Cowell College [photo opposite], Stevenson College, and Crown College. His designs incorporated<br />
the redwood groves and ocean views that are characteristic of the campus as a whole,<br />
while his individual design aesthetic is evident in the concrete terraced patios and abstract<br />
sculptures and fountains.<br />
