Johns Hopkins
Open Space Improvements II
Floura Teeter Landscape Architects was involved in the redesign for a four acre site at the Homewood Campus of the Johns Hopkins University. Currently a mix of roads, sidewalks and utilities, the design was implemented to remove most vehicular traffic from the interior of the site and replace it with curvilinear paths, plazas and plantings. This plaza is situated in front of the college’s student union and provides generous circulation, a donor wall, and ample seating for visitors. Materials for paving include brick, granite and marble band. An allee of trees and broad sidewalks connect the plaza with the lower quad.
