The outdoor workspace-park replaces an existing 739-stall parking lot with a new 5+ acre private park to function as a landscaped outdoor amenity and gathering space. Park amenities include a covered presentation stage with amphitheater-style seating, trellised central gathering space, event promenade, outdoor site furniture, and ancillary surface parking. Planting emphasizes large areas of water-efficient and native landscaping, with recreational turf, groves of trees, and thematic gardens. The site primarily serves on-campus employees and visitors for special events and gatherings. Taking cues from natural places near the site, the landscape design includes plant communities that complement the program and enhance ecological functions, including plants adapted to salty, windy and poorly drained soils, that provide a durable, water conserving, low maintenance palette for the project.
