PROJECT SUMMARY

The design team worked with University of Massachusetts Lowell to create a bold and implementable master plan for its South Campus landscape. The landscape master plan provides visioning and direction to (1) create a heart for the South Campus, (2) respond to the unique pedestrian and vehicular needs of campus users, (3) improve existing gateways to the campus, and (4) respect the context of the campus surroundings  including both the urban context and location on the banks of the Merrimack River. In addition to a landscape masterplan, design guidelines for the campus were created and five schematic site designs were developed that will guide the implementation process for the masterplan. The master plan, design guidelines, and schematic design were completed in 2016.
