Chosen to house a new research and development center for the Atlantic Richfield Company, this 312 acre suburban site was formerly an exclusive boarding school. Existing landscape elements included a green park, abandoned farmland, and a wooded ravine and stream corridor. The scope of work involved pedestrian and vehicular circulation and parking, landscape design for swales and storm detention basins, planting, pedestrian pavements, and the maintenance and replanting of the existing landscape. Olin Partnership prepared a detailed site assessment, rehabilitation, a long range maintenance plan and program, participated in site planning and provided design and contract documentation for all landscape elements.
