Landscape Technologies and
Robert E. Goetz &
 Associates,
LTD teamed to generate
a master plan of the historic Eden Seminary campus. This campus dates to
1924 and is the site of wonderful architecture, huge old oaks and a rich
history that extends beyond 1924.
The design team faced several challenges, including outdated pedestrian
and vehicular circulation, poor signage, lack of recreational
opportunities, a quadrangle that was no longer serving as a strong focal
point and aging landscape material. |
|
|
The vehicular circulation was totally re-designed to create safer
passages through the site while giving the feel of driving through a
park. Parking arrangements were studied and improved where valid. Vistas
were created to make the Administration Building more dominant,
delineating it as a strong focal point. Pedestrian access throughout the
campus was improved to bring the entire campus into ADA compliance and
patios, seating and “reflective” locations were created for the
students’ benefit. |
|
|
The quadrangle was re-designed to, once again, serve as a focal point of
the campus and a pleasant gathering place for people on campus. New
seating, a new fountain and new landscaping were added while making all
spaces accessible to the disabled population.
|
|
|
New traditional signage was created at t he
main entrance to help delineate the main entrance point to the campus.
In the same way, the Library entrance, formerly concealed on the south
side, was opened up to become more visible from East Lockwood.
Two new playgrounds were designed to serve the children of on-campus
students and for the day-care children of off-campus students.
Additionally, adult recreation was created.
|
|
|
 |
Much of the landscape material is old and nearing the end of life
cycles. The entire campus landscape was inventoried and new landscaping
added. Landscaping was also planned for four new single-family teaching
staff residences. |
