The landscape at the Fine Arts + Design Studios building takes cues from its contextual surroundings and microclimate, featuring landscape typologies that vary in function and style. There is a large, minimal lawn area for active play, a shaded hardscape area for passive gathering, and a sculpture garden for showcasing student work amid a dense ground plane of ornamental plantings. All plantings are native, assisting in stormwater treatment and minimizing long-term maintenance needs.
