Towers|Golde was selected to undertake a Landscape Development Plan which would incorporate Allegheny College’s new long-range facilities plan for the year 2000. Working as an integral part of the College’s Facilities Group, T|G has also assisted the President, Board of Trustees and Development Office in the stewardship of the campus.
The success of any Landscape Plan and the key to its continuing relevance, is T|G’s clear understanding of the goals and objectives of all the members of the academic community. With the active support of that community, one of the Master Plan’s major recommendations has been to return the campus to a pedestrian enclave by removing parking to the periphery. Even Brooks Drive, the main entrance into the college, has been made pedestrian and renamed Brooks Walk as a first phase implementation of this strategy. Subsequent phases included gateway signage, collaborations with artists on site installations, and a current sustainable roofdeck project.
