AGRICULTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY
The aesthetic and function of UMass Amherst has changed dramatically since its establishment as a land-grant college in 1863. Students from the department of landscape architecture and regional planning (LARP) created a documentary that examines these changes, and what they mean for campus architecture, landscapes, and eco-friendly buildings.
