90s landscape glow up

The design of this campus is intended to have a porous perimeter, opening up to the larger urban context and regional trails. The open space design is a subtle woven hierarchy of different circulation systems. There are three main pedestrian connections or paseos that lead to an interior promenade that runs continuously from East to West. In order of importance, the main spaces on the campus include: the central promenade, the physically continuous 'Green Line', and the paseos. 

The perimeter of the Campus will feature native plants, while the interior spaces will have a mix of shade tolerant, low water use grasses. Similar to what might occur in a botanic garden, there will be a number of special gardens, featuring groupings of climate appropriate plant materials from different countries such as Australia and South Africa. There will also be a large succulent garden, to showcase their sculptural beauty and water saving landscapes.
