  • Landscape Architecture

TBG served as landscape architect, translating insights from youth-led visioning sessions facilitated by Gensler Architects into a campus centered on community. The resulting design features an entry plaza, two resident courtyards, an internal plaza, and a trail connection to the adjacent Columbia Tap Trail, creating welcoming green spaces that encourage interaction and belonging. The design also incorporates future planning for additional campus buildings. Green infrastructure strategies contributed to the project achieving LEED Silver certification.
