Campus Planning is developing asset inventories and a comprehensive Landscape Master Plan that will outline design goals, character and function of all external areas and elements in the campus landscape including: landscape areas and outdoor gathering spaces, pedestrian connections and corridors, gateways/ campus edges, streets and drives, universal design, plant selection, public art, pavement, lighting and site furniture, banners, signage/way-finding and interpretive features. The Landscape Master Plan will ultimately clarify and guide all design and planning solutions related to campus open spaces and circulation for several years. The Plan will encourage unity in the design of the landscape over time, so that all parts of the campus relate properly to one another and provide a visual transition between buildings of different eras and architectural styles.
If you have any questions about campus landscape planning or banners, please contact Simon Raine at sraine@facil.umass.edu or 413-577-4691.
