A bold new campus masterplan was developed out of identifying key pedestrian circulation and the important need of providing accessible open space. Through close collaboration with the owner and consultant team, what once was an urban medical campus devoid of any open space has become a new series of vital links of open and publicly accessible green spaces. Located at the heart of the campus, a new park and plaza space has been created as the central gathering space for patient, staff and public to enjoy. To reduce traffic circulation, the new garage was conceived with multiple entry points on multiple levels maximizing its key central location within the campus. In addition, a distinct set of new site design vocabulary of lights, furnishings and plant palette was developed to create a sense of campus unity and improved way-finding.
