Future Landscape Master Planning- an ELFs presentation
December 18, 2017
Students in Biology and Environmental Science and Policy programs, in collaboration with Botanic Garden and Office of Campus Sustainability staff, have been engaged in a special studies course to explore how ecological principals can be incorporated into future Smith College landscape master planning. The Environmental Landscape Foursome (ELFs for short) – Hazel Edwards ’19, Kate Hanks ’18, Emily Hitchcock ’19, and Elsbeth Pendleton-Wheeler ’19 – have spent the Fall semester reviewing Smith College’s current master site plan (completed in 1995 by Rolland/Towers with Cornelia Hahn Oberlander ’44), exploring trends in environmental campus planning, and seeing how Smith stacks up against other academic institutions. This continues a long standing tradition of Smithies influencing the landscape of Smith College through academics.
