working — 2000 — Rochester, NY

University of Rochester

The University of Rochester wanted to solve student circulation problems between disparate campus areas.

Moody Graham (then Graham Landscape Architecture), led Master Planning for a campus expansion and new pedestrian gateway located at a previously neglected dead-end street. The landscape team worked closely with University stakeholders to achieve the project goals of increased institutional visibility, campus place-making, and improved circulation. A hierarchy of flexible spaces was created to accommodate a range of campus activities from small gatherings to graduation ceremonies.

The scope of work included a new gateway, pedestrian and vehicular pathways, a new clock tower and plaza, exterior terraces, tree planting, extensive perennial planting, and landscape lighting.
